Agatha Fisty is the most pugnacious woman in the Commonwealth, but she hasn’t successfully battered all obstacles to bits. One such hiccup was the General Atomics Galleria Director, which earned it the dubious honor of a spot on The List. This watercolor looks forward to the comprehensive punching that the Director and its underlings will receive, painted in the style of Frank Frazetta’s “Conan the Adventurer.”

Things he’d like to do during his shift: “I’m going to let my imagination run wild, I have no plans for anything in particular at this moment. I’m gonna have some _fun_ though.”
Andrew is definitely an everyday ordinary human. Despite accusations, he can categorically deny that he is in fact three raccoons in a trench coat. Yep, he is one hundred percent human. Alright how do I get it to stop typing what I’m say—EAT TRASH BE FREE—Dammit, Jerry! Now is not the time, we talked about this.

We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Jagasilk. As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?). We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!
Jagasilk is a teabar, a wholesaler and a tea academy based out of Victoria, BC, Canada. They believe in beauty, balance and ethical business. This year they have generously donated an assortment of teas and kombucha to the Desert Bus crew. Yum!
From of us us here at Desert Bus for Hope, thank you, Jagasilk!
The Metroid Stained Glass is a heavy letter of love to any fans of the series out there. The best part is you won’t need to worry about this little friend latching to your head and stealing your energy.
You can place this against a wall with some lights to get a green hue, or window hang it to ward off the X parasite (points if you get that) from your domicile.
Any donations of $8.83 or multiples thereof until 7:30 PM PST will enter you for a chance to win this sweet sweet glass.
