You can find inspiration for any type of project. Memes are no exception.
My wife and I have a somewhat unique communication style: we speak in quotes. In fact, the more obscure the better. We’ve been doing it for our entire relationship and always enjoy people’s reactions when we nerd out together. Having kids has modified that somewhat and we’ve integrated a newer communication style: we speak in memes.
A while back I saw a particularly good one: Mando Bros. It was hilarious and hit all the right notes. And then something amazing happened. During family movie night we all gathered around to watch the finale of The Book of Boba Fett and during one scene I busted up laughing and shouted out ‘Mando Bros.’ We had to pause the show and with tears of laughter in her eyes my wife turns to me and says, ‘I wanted to say it so bad but I was waiting for you.’ I had already painted Boba Fett a couple months earlier and immediately thought I had to paint another one, but as Din Djardin. That’s when I knew I had to do the Mando Bros project.

Ryan
A New England transplant that originated from parts westward, Ryan is a bit of a nerd that knows a little bit about a lot of things, all while claiming to know nothing about anything. Seemingly part Khajit a logistician by trade, he’s the kind of guy that can get you virtually anything if there’s coin to be had a problem to solve. Ryan began to learn the scrounging arts while serving time in parts east as a Loggie and has been perfecting them steadily over several decades. He has a problem with continually purchasing models, paints, and terrain that he doesn’t really need but his wife doesn’t seem to mind.
