that's it, that's all there is here
With my move back to Colorado behind me, I broke in the new painting desk with another commission! Rob saw my Tron Harlequins and asked me to paint these two in that style, to join his army of Synthwave Sisters of Battle. Since I've already written about how I painted the Harlequins I'll be brief … Continue reading Daemonifuge Commission
Harlequins are one of those model kits that I think every mini painting enthusiast thinks about painting at some point. They're so dynamic, and just detailed enough to be interesting while still leaving plenty up for interpretation, stellar design work on by GW. I've had the itch for a long time, but I never got … Continue reading Painting Tron-Inspired Harlequins
When I saw Sergio Calvo's Hirelings of Asura kickstarter I knew I had to back it, even if only for the video tutorials. However, the miniatures themselves were incredible too, with one of them bearing a striking resemblance to a character I've played for years in D&D.

After discovering that the one and only Roman Lappat offers painting workshops only 30 minutes away from my home I had no excuse not to sign up! So this last weekend I finally attended a 3 day Beginner's Workshop in Augsburg, Germany. Over the course of the workshop I learned an incredible amount about base … Continue reading I went to a painting workshop!
Sources & Inspiration: Marc Chee and his Inky Boyz, Mike Cousins of Epic Duck Studios, the awesome Borderlands inspired Tau by Ork Paintboy, and a lifetime filled with comics and cartoons Now I am far from an expert but I have painted a few different minis in this sort of style, which also gets called … Continue reading ‘Comic Style’ Painting
After a great conversation with a friend of mine I decided it would be nice to spend some time thinking about my history with this hobby. Since every interview with painters seems to cover this topic, I figure it should make for a good blog post. At the moment there have been three clear turning … Continue reading My Painting Journey
