Happy 39th, Leo! A Wooden Tribute to the GOAT 🐐

Just finished this piece in time for Messi’s birthday! Etched on birch plywood with a 10W diode laser.

I wanted to capture the contrast between his iconic silhouette and the bold typography of his stats—8 Ballons d'Or, 6 Golden Shoes, and that elusive World Cup. The quote at the bottom, "You have to fight to reach your dream," really resonates with makers who spend hours perfecting their settings.

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Messi!
