Street Fighter opens today... and it reminded me that it started with Street Fighter and a few friends who just wanted to make a small art show in a bar...

I am eternally grateful for @logan.zawacki , @edbot5000 , and @derricknevado for being the founding artists of the GAAM Show and so many of you becoming a community almost 14 years ago. ♥️

15 years is coming up... it's been a while...but...it's ALWAYS Mega Man. - Ryan

P.s. @capcomusa let's talk!

🎅🏽❄️ It snowed at a nerd market in Jacksonville.
Last November the courtyard filled with snowfall, sweaters and a lot of very happy kids. We're doing it again this year, and doing even more good with #YourNerdVillage.
