Part 1. Paint everything bronze.
Only made 5 new toy photos in February, but I'm very happy with them and learning that I work best in slow, deliberate, processes. I've already begun the next series of work and will have new things to share soon. One series at a time leads to work I'm most happy with. Maybe I'll throw some one offs in there but we'll see what March brings.
Rooms used for WWE images (I'll be able to share them late April), now getting repurposed for the Joker. Those of you who voted 'sell' in my story are dead to me. Jk jk.
