How did you know I've hoarded my hex stickers for years and never used them 🙈

These are so precious to me that they're for display only. I've never put a drink in them 😂

"My 3D package is so good that you need to take principles of photography into account" is quite the flex! Beautiful work as always

I've always read it as "filter to" but the ambiguity is real

This man absolutely understood the assignment

I thought "next-level smoker" would be a no-brainer project for you
