#KiffnessCares Campaign

I made this advert to warn you guys what to expect from brands when lockdown ends. Well, that's what I initially set out to do.

Went to some talks at the Red Bull studios in town today leading up to the festival, and I must say I left feeling pretty inspired. I also drank far too much Red Bull because they handed it out for free, and one does not simply turn down free stuff. The last set of talks were headed up by Sibot and Markus Wormstorm, formally known as 'The Real Estate Agents'. They...
