@quachacho So happy the bears have been of service 🙏

Hello! This has been a long time coming, but the shop is finally live! There's the usual prints and art books, as well as a bunch of MtG and D&D goodies (incl. APs, playmats and some much requested Bear Tokens!) Link in replies! #mtgart #MagicTheGathering #mtgsecretlair

@Il_Dilettante I apologise in advance for the shipping 🥲

@rbessaaa I'm gonna be so poor after this lmao

Can you tell I no longer know what will trigger the bad side of the algorithm? This was so vague, idk 😬

Browse here: ricardobessa.com/store And if you're interested in helping out some people who could use it - I'm selling original sketches from life drawing and donating some of that, so please also check those out!

Hi! I don't use this much anymore, considering deleting at some point as many have. You can still find me elsewhere under the same name, including the other place!

@SexoGratweeto Ahah o algoritmo só mostra o que é relevante, tal como eles dizem 😌

@rbessaaa O algoritmo do twitter é tão bom que já só vejo artistas que sigo quando estão a anunciar que se vão embora

MCM DONE!! Thank you so much to everyone who came by 💛 now, FOOD AND SLEEP
