    Very impressive.  You have lots of skill.  And I assume even more patience.

    Well I raised my kids on rock and they grew up playing KISSOPOLY all these years. Now they're teenagers and one day I got thinking, why doesn't Pearl Jamolopy exist? So I made it exist.
    When I first showed them there were just a lot of "wows" and they couldn't believe what they were looking at. And so the questions began about how the hell I made it, lol!

    Well if I was your kid I would have said this: Dad I can't believe how much time and love and energy you put into making something just for us. It's so beautiful. I've never seen any art more beautiful than this in my whole life and I've seen the Sistine Chapel, Dad. I love you so much and it means everything that we can play this together this year. I'm going to treasure this always. Thank you for loving us so well. 

    I mean, I have a year to go before I speak teen again, but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they mean when they say: Wow!

    Sistine Chapel for real???     :o
    My kids showed real great appreciation for the time and effort that I put into the game. At the end of the day the pay off was the reaction it got and then playing the game with my loved ones while listening to the soundtrack of my adult life. Just feel blessed to spend quality time with family.

    I loved the Sistine Chapel but I‘m pretty sure I‘d like Pearl Jamonopoly better 😄

    I could definitely post more pictures. I was going to make a little vid with PJ tunes but not sure about getting in trouble for using the bands music. Definitely don’t want to ruffle feathers. Just wanted to share with those who would dig it. I’ll post some more shortly

    Wow, that looks really well done!  How long did it take to you make all of that?
    Thanks for the positive feedback! I can’t honestly say the hours involved but from start to finish took me 185 days.

    Nice I'll buy one if your going to make more

    Well, I would have compared it to David, the majestic work of art by Michelangelo, but that was a wee bit underwhelming...
