Here's a little message to all Earthicans from our Prrrrrresident.

I worked on this for 3 full days, so I couldn't include all of the footage and I didn't want to speed up the footage too fast, that I did include, but I hope there's enough here to give you a flavour. If you'd like to see a slower version of this or similar videos, or are happy for longer videos showing a slower process, let me know in the comments.

I'll have a separate video next week showing the background painting.
