Super stoked about working with my buddy Vin Teng aka Sculpster on my first vinyl toy- Dragon Boy!!!
It’s still in its early stages, but I already know it’s going to look AMAZING. So awesome working with a master sculptor who understands my style!

Windi and Conor picked up “Folk Leisure” from me! It’s always nice to know an original painting going to a good home! Thanks kids!
