Day 7 Roundup! PANTHER, We’re a week in y’all. How’s everyone feeling so far? Lots of contributions with this one so it must’ve been fun. I’ve been slow to interact with all the last couple days being busy myself. I hope everyone is starting to find a flow in their lives for their own creativity to keep this a sustainable practice. All the artists are tagged in here. Find em, follow em, support your fellows. Appreciate all y’all. -Adam🧡 @adamguyhays

We have loved this sweet space through a few iterations…. ✨And we had a lil glow up over the last few months, with some mini renos at the studio AND new energetic additions in human form. 💫 Thank you to the studio homies for bringing the good light- you’re homies cause you co-create this home 🏡

This is a little present for all our rad clients, who make this place (and our careers!) possible. We hope you love it as much as we do 🗝️ and continue to feel held by this space.

Thank you @arachnophile_ @sdgiffin @natasha.tattooer @conall.minter.tattoos @omniseed

What a year! Thank you friends and clients, you got me through the ups and downs of it all. I am grateful to be making art in many forms, for myself and you. If we interacted at a market or over a tattoo, thank you for giving me your time and trust! I look forward to more memorable moments with you in the new year ⭐️🎊
