Exploring textures and tones with simple coloring markers. There’s something magical about letting go and flowing with the colors.

The Big Jaw Pokémon is surfing in! I remember playing Gold in the backseat by holding my Gamboy up to the window in hopes there was a car behind us with their lights on. Different times… Who else is excited for #LegendsZA??
