Thank you @kidrobot for donating munnys to the kids of Woodside elementary school! Fostering the future generation of creative minds, one munny at a time. And so relieved I didn't embarrass my nieces in front of their friends✌🏼️#kidrobot #munnys #unclejoe #nextgen #joeledbetter #jled

Wandering nomads of frozen wastelands, Ice-Cats spend most of their life stalking prey. Fearless predators but solitary creatures, they sustain themselves on a daily diet of polar bear, walrus or narwhal. Friend of the penguin, killer of killer whales, they are audacious and elusive, bold and sly. Not unlike the yeti or the abominable snowman, these beasts are rarely seen. These days they are thought to only exist in stories, legends and tall tales. However some amateur cryptozoologists claim 200 still exist in the wild. #icecat #icecatcometh #independemttoys #vinyltoys #vinylfigure #joeledbetter #jled #selfproduced

Love how those bodies are spilling out of the ceiling fresco - all painted on wood panels at SS. Apostoli - this church also has a paleochristian church you can check out downstairs - complete with 1500 year old frescos and creepy catacombs. #ciaoroma #ssapostoli #nicetechnique
