Those are awesome! I was in a pit of snakes here at an American bar but had the image of exactly these Canadian faces in mind when I was thinking of the other loyal fans. Lovely work and keep em coming!
Great pics, Austin! What a great Olympic Games – Calgary went nuts with the Men’s Hockey Gold, horns honking, Red Mile running amok, and I hear Yonge Street in Toronto was shut down for people to pour out and party.
Congratulations on your new job, hope you’re having fun!
