John Jennings is Legend. So Legend, I struggled with what to link. But you've got to start somewhere, and trust, if you haven't yet you'll want to. So how about the reimagining of the Silver Surfer from the story of Ghost Light. Seriously, look John up, follow, support - you'll live better.

My sister in law just sent me a link to this and the book to show me how beautiful this is?!! (We're in Germany and I was so surprised.)

And I was able to tell her, that I backed it on kickstarter 😭
Didn't have enough money for book and shipping, but we're talking about splitting the shipping cost…
