Commodity Velvet Bold Review (Jerome Epinette) + A Wild Ride Draw

January 5, 2022January 5, 2022

It is as if I just rode my motorcycle out in the woods to a clearing where my friends have a roaring bonfire going strong

You get a sense of the vast expanse of time – the eons, the epochs, the ages – this rock has taken to achieve this shiny black tattoo patina from the sun, so gloriously shiny in that sun.
