This is my first post here on my new Mastodon account. I'm an artist, and this is one that I made last month for a Gundam fan in California. It is painted with acrylics, paint, and graphite on a salvaged wooden board. Message me if you are interested in having some artwork made! I have a lot of cool finished pieces available too! #art #gundam #mobilesuitgundam #artists #commissions #anime #mecha #artwork #commissionsopen #commissionswelcome #artist #artlover #artlovers #painting #handmade #arts

Welcome to Mastodon! It's a good place to be on. A place for quiet, sustained engagement, without the breathless battle for attention that marks the other platforms.

@the_roamer @Roadwarrior29 Thanks so much, its nice to meet you and great being here! Hope youre having a pleasant day. I dont enjoy social media but I have to use it in order to sell artwork. I like the vibe here much better than Twitter and Facebook!
