🦾 1981. No movies. No cartoon. No hype.
🦾 Just a 27-year-old artist, an airbrush, and a blank canvas.
🦾 That artist was me.

👋 I'm Mark Watts — the man who painted the G1 Transformers into existence.

🎯 Nearly 50 characters. All mine.
🎯 Bumblebee. Jetfire. Shockwave. Cliffjumper. Brawn. Gears.
🎯 Painted by hand. One stroke at a time.

That box you ripped open on Christmas morning?
That art you couldn't stop staring at?

💥 I made that.

Now I'm 71. Still standing. Still creating.
And yeah — I won't be around forever.

🕰️ So here's your shot:

🖼️ A hand-signed print — from my hands to your wall
💎 Museum quality — worthy of the legend it represents
📦 Direct from my studio — no middleman, no nonsense

⏳ While supplies last — and while I last!
Cheers! 😄
