WHOA! I never did my Pope Vibe for the new pope! Read and then enjoy the rest of this megathread.
Pope Leo XIV was a substitute teacher at your primary school and everyone LOVED it when he was in coz he'd draw animals you requested on the blackboard in a cartoon style and he was SO good at it.

My large puffin painting was created on gesso board, a smooth, rigid, very durable surface, designed to last for several lifetimes. It is 50 x 70 cm, prior to framing. The frame is a white, wooden, contemporary style.
It's a showstopper!
