- Does our good friend Patrick Ballesteros ever do commissions for his framed minis? He does not, because each one is an original, one-of-a-kind piece on its own. Visit Table CC-30 in Artists’ Alley to dip into his particular box of chocolates. You really do never know what you’re gonna get.
Some ask if I do commissions of the framed minis. I don’t because I like to think of these exclusives like blind boxes. You never know what you’re gonna get which makes it exciting! Plus you can never go wrong with words of wisdom from Forest Gump😂.
More info coming soon! #CCSE pic.twitter.com/UBFVVogLeK— Patrick Ballesteros (@PatrickBallest) November 21, 2021
