I'm not sure I have anything to say about the killer street art with the Disney Princesses. lol
Yeah, some of those covers weren't my favourite but others were really well done. I think I like the more simplistic ones best. And yes to the new HP covers!
DeleteThe Disney Princess street art is really kinda creepy and the individual(s) who created them are people I don't wanna meet in a dark alley anytime, like, EVER!
Happy reading Nikki. The zombie apocalypse is pretty neat and interesting Disney princess art!
