Tell us a little about yourself?
I am from England and when I’m not making art I work as a chef.
How and when did you start getting into Pokemon/vaporwave art?
I’ve been making Pokemon based artwork since early 2018. Before this I mainly made surreal landscape art in the form of collage art by cutting up vintage Nat Geo magazines for several years. At some point in 2017 I began incorporating my love of the vaporwave aesthetic into this art, adding digital effects to my traditional practice.
What inspires you?
Escapism. All of my art is about immersing myself in fictional worlds. Even as a small child I was making my own Pokemon cards and stories. I’d draw made up Pokemon maps, make pretend wanted posters for Star Wars characters, craft Lord of the Rings weapons like bows and arrows with elvish writing on them, make Harry Potter wands and pretend shopping lists for Diagon Alley and homework for Hogwarts. It was all about expanding the lore of these places I loved, blurring the boundaries between these imaginary worlds and our reality.
This caused problems when I was studying Fine Art at university, I despise conceptual art and most of the contemporary theory based art gallery world. I like simple beauty and craftsmanship. My tutors at art school were always pushing me to make political art and to try address social issues with it, which just isn’t something I ever felt comfortable doing. It was dragging the worst parts of our reality into that one sacred peaceful place I had, art.
A genuine quote from my art tutor “It’s just too nice. What do you hate? Try making art about that.” I couldn’t wait to leave, get my degree and go make the art that genuinely expresses myself. Which is what I’m doing now and surprisingly lots of other people love seeing what I make too which inspires me all the more.
What other genres of art do you like?
Aside from my beloved 90s inspirations like vaporwave, pixel art and the whole aesthetic movement I love 80s styles like outrun and synthwave. Just from a purely visual stand point I really love North Korean and Soviet artwork. There’s a bold simplicity to it that I admire and even the more traditional Korean art full of floral patterns and pastel colours.
Traditional Japanese wood block prints are sublime, as well as old Chinese ink drawings. Gothic cathedral architecture are some of the most awe inspiring structures on the planet to me. I love the photomontages of Superstudio too, an Italian architecture movement from the 60s. Anything from the retro-futurism genre excites me.
What's your process?
It’s so wide and varied because of the number of mediums I jump between and often too chaotic, undisciplined and chance based to give a simple coherent breakdown of. I often sit down with zero plan or idea of what I’m going to make. This keeps it exciting for me.
How did you learn to do graphic design?
I studied graphic design at college for 2 years, then Fine Art at university for 3 years but honestly I learned very little in terms of technique or form. It was 95% theory. I taught myself Photoshop on an outdated French version I couldn’t understand, it was a lot of trial and error and just playing with every button and setting I could find. I learned a lot by just messing around making memes.
What artists do you follow?
Here’s a few from my Instagram I particularly enjoy:
- Khaled @kldpxl makes some of the best pixel art I’ve ever seen. There’s many great pixel artists I could list but he is definitely my favourite.
- David Jien @david_jien has created a fantastical world full of characters, places and stories that are drawn and sculptured in just the most detailed, exquisite, colourful imaginative style. His art looks like pencil drawn gameboy tapestries from out of space. Fully recommend following his work.
- @8pxl_ Again another sublime pixel artist, she particularly inspires me with her colour choices.
- Oliver Hamlin @oliver_hamlin I regularly browse his art, it’s full of quaint, gorgeous, playful and creative watercolour paintings of Pokemon.
- Jesse Treece @jessetreececollage is someone I’ve followed for the longest of time, learned a lot from him. Master of composition.
Do you have any other hobbies you love?
Football or soccer as some may call it. I don’t really follow it anymore but I love playing it. I’m obsessed with nutrition and food, meme culture and Youtube. I obviously love anything and everything Pokemon, the cards, the anime, the games etc. I play too much Pokemon Go.
If you could catch and have one Pokemon as a pet, which would it be and why?
100% ABRA. We could communicate telepathically. It sleeps 18 hours per day. It’s kind of like having a cat that floats and can teleport me and itself places. Maximum laziness and hates being around people, I respect it.
If you could live in any year, what year would you choose and why?
2077 so Keanu Reeves could wake me up to go burn a city.
I really love this shirt and the material. This shirt is more quality of than any cotton shirt and the design isn't a free one.
Love it!
Just got the shirt that I ordered on the 5th of this month and I'm honestly very, very disappointed. First off, the print that I got isn't even the same as the one in the picture! The star/galaxy pattern is way less detailed and doesn't even look as good or as cool as the picture like as if the resolution was lowered. The material does not feel like cotton, it feels and fits as if I'm putting on a rash guard no lie. The way it fits on the model is not how it fits irl. The picture is not what you get, either that or the quality control is lacking. The inside of the shirt is white, not black like the picture and the darkness of the black on the front of the shirt to really create that contrast, isn't there either - its more of a dark grey. Definitely sending back, definitely not worth the price.
The shirt is exactly as I hoped it would be. Fits right, comfortable and looks really good!

Cozy, soft, and just one look brings me instant nostalgia. I can hear the opening song and feel like a kid again. Very roomy. The print has stayed on nicely. Highly recommend for lovers of gen 2 Pokemon!
The cotton is incredibly soft and the fit is great as well. The design is unique and this has quickly become my new favorite hoodie!

I was hesitant to order the hoodie due to price. But the quality is top notch and it gets me a ton of compliments. I can’t recommend it enough
Boyfriend got himself the Gengar hoodie and myself the Gold ver hoodie as anniversary gifts. I freakin love them! They’re super comfy and I got mine a size larger to get that long size feel. He previously bought the Dragonite one and it’s gorgeous as well. Will DEFINITELY be shopping here again in the future.
These games are my childhood and I love this design. The hoodie is comfortable and warm.

Tell us a little about yourself? (Where you're from, where you live, where you work, etc)
I'm a hobbyist graphic designer and editor from Romania, and currently live in Canada. I'm still a college student, but work part-time at an auto shop.
How and when did you start getting into Dragonball Z and Sonic art?
I've been drawing Sonic for as long as I could hold a pencil. Heck, there was a period of time when the only thing I drew was Sonic. That was around 2008 to 2011. After a while, I decided I wanted to draw more advanced things so I began practicing drawing anime, especially Dragon Ball, which was a favorite of mine since early childhood. After getting comfortable with the paper and pen, I decided to take it a step further and try doing things digitally. So for the past 6 years, I've been doing all kinds of digital art and designing, and just experimenting and learning as I go. And here we are now.
What inspires you?
Seeking a feeling. When it comes to my work, I always try to make it give the observer a feeling. Most of the time, it's a feeling of nostalgic comfort. It could be a feeling of joy or excitement. When it comes down to it, I just try to make myself feel something through what I create. The way I see it, if I will feel something, there's bound to be someone out there who will feel the same way. Most of the time, my inspiration comes from seeing the art of others and try to recreate it with my own spin, then doing that over and over again until it evolves into something completely different and original.
What is your process of creating your work?
I often have no ideas if I just want to make something. I'll sit at the computer and try a hundred ideas, and nothing will feel right. Then, while I'm browsing the internet aimlessly, I'll see something which gives me an idea. I try to create the idea I have, and then I'll have a new a better version of the idea until I get to the final product. That's how it goes most of the time, but I generally start with nothing and magically end up with something. Funny how that works.
How did you learn to do graphic design?
When I was a sophomore in high school, I took a "media arts" course. In it, we learned to mess around with a lot of Adobe programs like Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. I was a pretty quick learner when it came to Photoshop and was really impressed by its capabilities. When I got home, I bought a copy of Photoshop CS6 and began making abstract wallpapers and designs. After a while, I tried to incorporate that into my drawings and began making digital art. When I graduated high school, I took a 2 year graphical design program. I didn't learn much that I didn't know before when it came to using Photoshop, Illustrator and other such programs, but I learned a few techniques that have helped me a lot in the long run.

What artists do you follow?
On Instagram, there's a few artists I enjoy:
- @dragon.ball77 makes a lot of creative edits with Dragon Ball characters. Really, really aesthetically pleasing stuff. Always looking forward to his posts.
- @gxkuh also makes some fantastic Dragon Ball edits. There's a lot of creativity behind his work and he's always inspired me to try new things with my design.
- @itsbirdy does a ton of cool artworks, especially Pokemon and 90s anime. It's amazing what he's able to do with pencil crayons and how he takes it to the next level when he does things digitally. Always a blessing seeing his content on my feed.
- @jongoart is a freelance artist with a lot of love for 80s and 90s anime, and has a very distinct art style. Really love his coloring techniques as well.
On Tumblr, I follow @odioart, who has given me a ton of inspiration with my designs and edits when I was burned out. He has a ton of cool content.
Do you have any other hobbies you love?I really like cars, and driving. I've wanted to be a race car driver since I was young. However, since that never came to be, I just enjoy night time cruises with my friends and listening to music. I of course also like playing video games and watching anime. As of recently, I've really been enjoying watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Yu-Gi-Oh. Every Friday night, I have some friends come over. We order pizza and just fire up the SNES and N64 and have a night of fun. It usually is the highlight of my week.
If you could live in any year, what year would you choose and why?
I would love to go back to 1998 and buy Ocarina of Time at launch and play it all over again.

Tell us a little about yourself? (Where you're from, where you live, where you work, etc)
I'm a hobbyist graphic designer and editor from Romania, and currently live in Canada. I'm still a college student, but work part-time at an auto shop.
How and when did you start getting into Dragonball Z and Sonic art?
I've been drawing Sonic for as long as I could hold a pencil. Heck, there was a period of time when the only thing I drew was Sonic. That was around 2008 to 2011. After a while, I decided I wanted to draw more advanced things so I began practicing drawing anime, especially Dragon Ball, which was a favorite of mine since early childhood. After getting comfortable with the paper and pen, I decided to take it a step further and try doing things digitally. So for the past 6 years, I've been doing all kinds of digital art and designing, and just experimenting and learning as I go. And here we are now.
What inspires you?
Seeking a feeling. When it comes to my work, I always try to make it give the observer a feeling. Most of the time, it's a feeling of nostalgic comfort. It could be a feeling of joy or excitement. When it comes down to it, I just try to make myself feel something through what I create. The way I see it, if I will feel something, there's bound to be someone out there who will feel the same way. Most of the time, my inspiration comes from seeing the art of others and try to recreate it with my own spin, then doing that over and over again until it evolves into something completely different and original.
What is your process of creating your work?
I often have no ideas if I just want to make something. I'll sit at the computer and try a hundred ideas, and nothing will feel right. Then, while I'm browsing the internet aimlessly, I'll see something which gives me an idea. I try to create the idea I have, and then I'll have a new a better version of the idea until I get to the final product. That's how it goes most of the time, but I generally start with nothing and magically end up with something. Funny how that works.
How did you learn to do graphic design?
When I was a sophomore in high school, I took a "media arts" course. In it, we learned to mess around with a lot of Adobe programs like Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. I was a pretty quick learner when it came to Photoshop and was really impressed by its capabilities. When I got home, I bought a copy of Photoshop CS6 and began making abstract wallpapers and designs. After a while, I tried to incorporate that into my drawings and began making digital art. When I graduated high school, I took a 2 year graphical design program. I didn't learn much that I didn't know before when it came to using Photoshop, Illustrator and other such programs, but I learned a few techniques that have helped me a lot in the long run.

Do you have any other hobbies you love?I really like cars, and driving. I've wanted to be a race car driver since I was young. However, since that never came to be, I just enjoy night time cruises with my friends and listening to music. I of course also like playing video games and watching anime. As of recently, I've really been enjoying watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Yu-Gi-Oh. Every Friday night, I have some friends come over. We order pizza and just fire up the SNES and N64 and have a night of fun. It usually is the highlight of my week.
If you could live in any year, what year would you choose and why?
I would love to go back to 1998 and buy Ocarina of Time at launch and play it all over again.

Tell us a little about yourself? (Where you're from, where you live, where you work, etc)
I'm a hobbyist graphic designer and editor from Romania, and currently live in Canada. I'm still a college student, but work part-time at an auto shop.
How and when did you start getting into Dragonball Z and Sonic art?
I've been drawing Sonic for as long as I could hold a pencil. Heck, there was a period of time when the only thing I drew was Sonic. That was around 2008 to 2011. After a while, I decided I wanted to draw more advanced things so I began practicing drawing anime, especially Dragon Ball, which was a favorite of mine since early childhood. After getting comfortable with the paper and pen, I decided to take it a step further and try doing things digitally. So for the past 6 years, I've been doing all kinds of digital art and designing, and just experimenting and learning as I go. And here we are now.
What inspires you?
Seeking a feeling. When it comes to my work, I always try to make it give the observer a feeling. Most of the time, it's a feeling of nostalgic comfort. It could be a feeling of joy or excitement. When it comes down to it, I just try to make myself feel something through what I create. The way I see it, if I will feel something, there's bound to be someone out there who will feel the same way. Most of the time, my inspiration comes from seeing the art of others and try to recreate it with my own spin, then doing that over and over again until it evolves into something completely different and original.
What is your process of creating your work?
I often have no ideas if I just want to make something. I'll sit at the computer and try a hundred ideas, and nothing will feel right. Then, while I'm browsing the internet aimlessly, I'll see something which gives me an idea. I try to create the idea I have, and then I'll have a new a better version of the idea until I get to the final product. That's how it goes most of the time, but I generally start with nothing and magically end up with something. Funny how that works.
How did you learn to do graphic design?
When I was a sophomore in high school, I took a "media arts" course. In it, we learned to mess around with a lot of Adobe programs like Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. I was a pretty quick learner when it came to Photoshop and was really impressed by its capabilities. When I got home, I bought a copy of Photoshop CS6 and began making abstract wallpapers and designs. After a while, I tried to incorporate that into my drawings and began making digital art. When I graduated high school, I took a 2 year graphical design program. I didn't learn much that I didn't know before when it came to using Photoshop, Illustrator and other such programs, but I learned a few techniques that have helped me a lot in the long run.

However, since that never came to be, I just enjoy night time cruises with my friends and listening to music. I of course also like playing video games and watching anime. As of recently, I've really been enjoying watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Yu-Gi-Oh. Every Friday night, I have some friends come over. We order pizza and just fire up the SNES and N64 and have a night of fun. It usually is the highlight of my week.
If you could live in any year, what year would you choose and why?
I would love to go back to 1998 and buy Ocarina of Time at launch and play it all over again.

Tell us a little about yourself?
I am from England and when I’m not making art I work as a chef.
How and when did you start getting into Pokemon/vaporwave art?
I’ve been making Pokemon based artwork since early 2018. Before this I mainly made surreal landscape art in the form of collage art by cutting up vintage Nat Geo magazines for several years. At some point in 2017 I began incorporating my love of the vaporwave aesthetic into this art, adding digital effects to my traditional practice.
What inspires you?
Escapism. All of my art is about immersing myself in fictional worlds. Even as a small child I was making my own Pokemon cards and stories. I’d draw made up Pokemon maps, make pretend wanted posters for Star Wars characters, craft Lord of the Rings weapons like bows and arrows with elvish writing on them, make Harry Potter wands and pretend shopping lists for Diagon Alley and homework for Hogwarts. It was all about expanding the lore of these places I loved, blurring the boundaries between these imaginary worlds and our reality.
This caused problems when I was studying Fine Art at university, I despise conceptual art and most of the contemporary theory based art gallery world. I like simple beauty and craftsmanship. My tutors at art school were always pushing me to make political art and to try address social issues with it, which just isn’t something I ever felt comfortable doing. It was dragging the worst parts of our reality into that one sacred peaceful place I had, art.
A genuine quote from my art tutor “It’s just too nice. What do you hate? Try making art about that.” I couldn’t wait to leave, get my degree and go make the art that genuinely expresses myself. Which is what I’m doing now and surprisingly lots of other people love seeing what I make too which inspires me all the more.
What other genres of art do you like?
Aside from my beloved 90s inspirations like vaporwave, pixel art and the whole aesthetic movement I love 80s styles like outrun and synthwave. Just from a purely visual stand point I really love North Korean and Soviet artwork. There’s a bold simplicity to it that I admire and even the more traditional Korean art full of floral patterns and pastel colours.
Traditional Japanese wood block prints are sublime, as well as old Chinese ink drawings. Gothic cathedral architecture are some of the most awe inspiring structures on the planet to me. I love the photomontages of Superstudio too, an Italian architecture movement from the 60s. Anything from the retro-futurism genre excites me.
What's your process?
It’s so wide and varied because of the number of mediums I jump between and often too chaotic, undisciplined and chance based to give a simple coherent breakdown of. I often sit down with zero plan or idea of what I’m going to make. This keeps it exciting for me.
How did you learn to do graphic design?
I studied graphic design at college for 2 years, then Fine Art at university for 3 years but honestly I learned very little in terms of technique or form. It was 95% theory. I taught myself Photoshop on an outdated French version I couldn’t understand, it was a lot of trial and error and just playing with every button and setting I could find. I learned a lot by just messing around making memes.
What artists do you follow?
Here’s a few from my Instagram I particularly enjoy:
- Khaled @kldpxl makes some of the best pixel art I’ve ever seen. There’s many great pixel artists I could list but he is definitely my favourite.
- David Jien @david_jien has created a fantastical world full of characters, places and stories that are drawn and sculptured in just the most detailed, exquisite, colourful imaginative style. His art looks like pencil drawn gameboy tapestries from out of space. Fully recommend following his work.
- @8pxl_ Again another sublime pixel artist, she particularly inspires me with her colour choices.
- Oliver Hamlin @oliver_hamlin I regularly browse his art, it’s full of quaint, gorgeous, playful and creative watercolour paintings of Pokemon.
- Jesse Treece @jessetreececollage is someone I’ve followed for the longest of time, learned a lot from him. Master of composition.
Do you have any other hobbies you love?
Football or soccer as some may call it. I don’t really follow it anymore but I love playing it. I’m obsessed with nutrition and food, meme culture and Youtube. I obviously love anything and everything Pokemon, the cards, the anime, the games etc. I play too much Pokemon Go.
If you could catch and have one Pokemon as a pet, which would it be and why?
100% ABRA. We could communicate telepathically. It sleeps 18 hours per day. It’s kind of like having a cat that floats and can teleport me and itself places. Maximum laziness and hates being around people, I respect it.
If you could live in any year, what year would you choose and why?
2077 so Keanu Reeves could wake me up to go burn a city.
I’m so used to other companies where I end up with clothes that look much worse than the pictures, but I was incredibly happy with the Trading Cards hoodie. It looks exactly as pictured and has already become one of my favorite items of clothing, since not only does it look fresh, but it fits well and feels nice! Really excited to try pick up some other stuff after a few more paychecks.
I haven’t received my items yet, likely because of where I live (NZ), but I’ve found the customer service, quality of designs and range of items to be incredible. I really can’t wait to get my stuff! I’m so happy with what I ordered, and ever since I ordered my items, I’ve received kind and warm emails from the people running the site. I’m really happy, and will definitely order from here again!!
It's my new favorite hoodie of my collection, even though it's kinda large. I ordered the XS size, but I'd still fit in there three times.. geez, how big are you guys over there?! 🤣
The high-quality fabric and the digital print is flawless. I love it! ♡♡♡
Loved the design, I love the cloud print background, text on the back, and the pokemon up each sleeve! I didn't even realize until I had it on, but each sphere is a different pokemon, not a repeat pattern.
The material is kind of shimmery so it really looks like the old shiny trading cards I used to have! I really hope it stays this shiny, the other hoodie I've got seems to have lost its shine after several washes.

Literally just received this sweater after a month (expected since I ordered right before Christmas). Omg, this is the softest sweater and so true to size! (Maybe a little larger) I didn’t receive an email at purchase or to update me that it was on the way but it was such a good surprise. Thank you !!!
I am obsessed with the cotton hoodies! They arrive incredibly soft and they fit as expected, if not slightly larger (I prefer my hoodies baggy). I got the cotton ones to wear more as pajamas or around the house and they're perfect for that. So cozy and I love the designs. I will definitely be ordering more!

By far one of my new favorite sweatshirts. Every time i wear it I’m filled to childhood joy and can remember the excitement of trying to hit it big at the pokeslots. Sizing runs around true to a little large for the sweatshirts. I find that ideal because I like to layer and be comfortable. Image quality is great. Just buy it already and be happy!
All the memories of sitting on my Gameboy as a kid, making my way to the game corner to try my luck on the slot machines -- mashed into one great quality hoodie that I can rock as an adult!? You nailed it, Publicspace!
I ordered the MySpace Tom long sleeve earlier in the year and LOVED IT. So I decided to order the Blue Eyes White Dragon, the Nintendo 64, and the Pokémon Slot Machine hoodies. I’m a social media influencer and I always get compliments on my new hoodies when I wear them in my videos! Even in public, it’s an immediate conversation starter. The materials used to make the hoodie are comfy and I can tell it’s not cheap. Definitely a low fade design quality. These are ment to last. They’re all 3 very flashy and I love it. It was hard for me to pick just 3 at the time because they all go perfect with my style. I’d wear the whole store no questions asked. 10/10 all things considered. Shipping time, pricing and quality. Without a doubt my new favorite store.

I’ve been making Pokemon based artwork since early 2018. Before this I mainly made surreal landscape art in the form of collage art by cutting up vintage Nat Geo magazines for several years. At some point in 2017 I began incorporating my love of the vaporwave aesthetic into this art, adding digital effects to my traditional practice.
What inspires you?
Escapism. All of my art is about immersing myself in fictional worlds. Even as a small child I was making my own Pokemon cards and stories. I’d draw made up Pokemon maps, make pretend wanted posters for Star Wars characters, craft Lord of the Rings weapons like bows and arrows with elvish writing on them, make Harry Potter wands and pretend shopping lists for Diagon Alley and homework for Hogwarts. It was all about expanding the lore of these places I loved, blurring the boundaries between these imaginary worlds and our reality.
This caused problems when I was studying Fine Art at university, I despise conceptual art and most of the contemporary theory based art gallery world. I like simple beauty and craftsmanship. My tutors at art school were always pushing me to make political art and to try address social issues with it, which just isn’t something I ever felt comfortable doing. It was dragging the worst parts of our reality into that one sacred peaceful place I had, art.
A genuine quote from my art tutor “It’s just too nice. What do you hate? Try making art about that.” I couldn’t wait to leave, get my degree and go make the art that genuinely expresses myself. Which is what I’m doing now and surprisingly lots of other people love seeing what I make too which inspires me all the more.
What other genres of art do you like?
Aside from my beloved 90s inspirations like vaporwave, pixel art and the whole aesthetic movement I love 80s styles like outrun and synthwave. Just from a purely visual stand point I really love North Korean and Soviet artwork. There’s a bold simplicity to it that I admire and even the more traditional Korean art full of floral patterns and pastel colours.
Traditional Japanese wood block prints are sublime, as well as old Chinese ink drawings. Gothic cathedral architecture are some of the most awe inspiring structures on the planet to me. I love the photomontages of Superstudio too, an Italian architecture movement from the 60s. Anything from the retro-futurism genre excites me.
What's your process?
It’s so wide and varied because of the number of mediums I jump between and often too chaotic, undisciplined and chance based to give a simple coherent breakdown of. I often sit down with zero plan or idea of what I’m going to make. This keeps it exciting for me.
How did you learn to do graphic design?
I studied graphic design at college for 2 years, then Fine Art at university for 3 years but honestly I learned very little in terms of technique or form. It was 95% theory. I taught myself Photoshop on an outdated French version I couldn’t understand, it was a lot of trial and error and just playing with every button and setting I could find. I learned a lot by just messing around making memes.
What artists do you follow?
Here’s a few from my Instagram I particularly enjoy:
- Khaled @kldpxl makes some of the best pixel art I’ve ever seen. There’s many great pixel artists I could list but he is definitely my favourite.
- David Jien @david_jien has created a fantastical world full of characters, places and stories that are drawn and sculptured in just the most detailed, exquisite, colourful imaginative style. His art looks like pencil drawn gameboy tapestries from out of space. Fully recommend following his work.
- @8pxl_ Again another sublime pixel artist, she particularly inspires me with her colour choices.
- Oliver Hamlin @oliver_hamlin I regularly browse his art, it’s full of quaint, gorgeous, playful and creative watercolour paintings of Pokemon.
- Jesse Treece @jessetreececollage is someone I’ve followed for the longest of time, learned a lot from him. Master of composition.
Do you have any other hobbies you love?
Football or soccer as some may call it. I don’t really follow it anymore but I love playing it. I’m obsessed with nutrition and food, meme culture and Youtube. I obviously love anything and everything Pokemon, the cards, the anime, the games etc. I play too much Pokemon Go.
If you could catch and have one Pokemon as a pet, which would it be and why?
100% ABRA. We could communicate telepathically. It sleeps 18 hours per day. It’s kind of like having a cat that floats and can teleport me and itself places. Maximum laziness and hates being around people, I respect it.
If you could live in any year, what year would you choose and why?
2077 so Keanu Reeves could wake me up to go burn a city.
