Painting by Life, the Neatness Extremist

 

Call and hire the neatest shaker

Who will transform your brain’s passions

Into the panic that you will be happy with

 

One miracle does it all!

Fast and reliable

Artisan Marathon

Call Angkor Wat and get referred

To a mover today

 

Bomb, silk, treasures, wounds

Free future!
