News / 21 May 2020

Really cool moment I woke up to today, seeing Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes unboxing and saying such nice things about my work on What's In The Box! Really surreal. Special thanks to my friends at Level 52 Studios for all the hard work they've done to take The Hound so far. Paint, production, distribution, and now this. Thanks guys!
