The Thrilla Krew collab is live! My one-of-a-kind canvas has already sold out, but a few of the individual characters are still available for purchase. I only did 10 of each, so there aren't many left!

Had no issues walking in the other day and picking up a Switch 2 without a preorder. Also, glad that BOTW recognized my save and kept my DLC!

Finished my first full wooden painting! This is completely done with acrylic paint by hand and the characters are separate and pop off the canvas. So fun to do…

For the scene IYKYK!
