THE WORLD of WATARU KATO – LIBERTYWALK FEATURETTE
More than just a brand, its a lifestyle… Recently, you often come across the terms “Rocket Bunny”, “Rauh-Welt” or “Liberty Walk”.

Their characteristic style is currently a trend, especially overseas, and involves extreme wide bodies. So-called “bolt-on overfenders” are used here. This roughly translates as “riveted-on mudguard attachments”. However, they are now so much more than ordinary handicrafts designed to last a few years.

Hot Wheels Cars made by AI – FEATURETTE
Photoshop, the measure of all things! AI is changing the way we do things, and this also applies to art.
