Can you even call it natural wine if the winemaker doesn’t look like this? JK (…kinda 😉) The Zom-Somm intentionally creates UNNATURAL wine. Art from the new issue of BoG (issue No. 13, the Spring/Summer ‘26 edition) courtesy of the amazing Mark Richards (@heavy.hand ) which accompanies our interview with the wine industry’s lovable rascal @the_angry_somm 🍷See them both this Summer at the Blood Of Gods Merrymaking ✨ Get your tickets and/or subscribe or buy via the link in our bio 👆 #NaturalWine #BiodynamicWine #Zombie #Undead #WineTime

🐙🐟🦐 Gave my boy @timmawang ’s sea creatures a makeover. Check out his power stance. 90% healed from about 5 years ago. Hit me up if you want me to turn your leg—or any other body part—into a morbid aquarium! @9threalmgallery #seacreatures #blackandwhitetattoo #darkarttattoo #sealifetattoo #salemtattooartist
