JULY 21, 2010 SITE UPDATES, INCLUDING STEAMPUNK JEN A number of new minis added this week: two from CMON, three from Dark Sword, one from Privateer, and three from various producers. (All manufacturers represented by fewer than three minis... (more) MAY 17, 2010 JUST THE MOST AWESOME MINIATURE EVER. Dark Sword's latest tribute miniature is...Jen Haley, steampunk adventuress! It's not cast yet, but you can see the green here. Have I mentioned how great Jim Ludwig is? Never would have imagined I'd get the chance to have a miniature sculpted by Tom Meier, much less a portrait miniature. Small Jen will have a gallery page, of course, after she's painted up. Here are some quick shots from photo mock... (more) MAY 17, 2010 COMMISSION INFORMATION It's hard to say no to cool miniatures...but my worktable is full. I will not be taking new commissions until October (after the MMSI miniature show). Please do contact me then if you're interested in a custom piece. APRIL 22, 2010 REAPERCON I'll be at ReaperCon 2010 in Denton, Texas, May 20-23. This year I won't be giving any formal classes, but I'll be doing some demo painting with the other guest artists. Additionally, I'll be available for one-on-one critique sessions (ask at registration for available times). Want feedback on a competition entry, or tips for taking your mini to the next level? Bring one or two recent examples of your painting so that I can get a good idea of your skill level. I'm happy to give 'don't worry, you'll get there with a bit of practice' critiques, a... (more) MARCH 15, 2010 GALLERY UPDATES Some new miniatures in the Dark Sword and Reaper galleries, as well as a new gallery for CoolMiniOrNot models.  MARCH 5, 2010SAMURAI MINIATURE FOR SALE I am offering for sale the 54mm mounted samurai miniature which can be seen here. Much work went into this one, and he missed taking a gold medal at MMSI by only a point or two. Asking price is $600. I can ship anywhere in the world. Please e-mail me with any questions. Normally I don't sell miniatures I paint for myself, but if I'm going to attend World Expo 2011, it's high time to start a fund! FEBRUARY 26, 2010 'ABOUT ME' UPDATED Changes and updates on my About Me page. Apologies to those who've written me to ask about classes in Chicago! NOVEMBER 17, 2009 CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE AUGUST... but a belated thanks to Marc Santos for the pics at the artists' demo table.  Yep, that's a Star Trek combadge I'm wearing. Decided to start working my way through my Top 10 Geekiest Costumes list this year! Even made a custom phaser with burgundy sparkle paint job. And I already found the velour for an Original Series dress next GenCon... NOVEMBER 6, 2009 UPDATES WILL BE COMING SOON. REALLY. GenCon was, as always, a blast. This year I managed to score Privateer Grand Master for the second time, with a Captain Victoria Haley conversion. My Press Gang diorama also took first in its category. I'll be putting up shots of those and more minis this coming week. In the meantime, here's one quick shot from the con.  Me, Tom Meier, Marike Reimer, out at dinner. Tom never takes his wife to GenCon lest she scare off the fangirls. (Thanks to Jim Ludwig of Dark Sword Miniatures, prince among men and most excellent ho... (more)
JULY 17, 2009 GENCON CLASS INFO I've had some questions about what is actually needed and what's supplied in my workshops at GenCon, so here's a little more information. It's not at all necessary to paint in the classes. About half of attendees prefer to watch and listen, and about half want to try out a color or effect or technique on the spot. Provided will be the bare minimum for practice: a primed miniature for each participant, foam plate 'palette', water cup, paper towels, medium-quality Taklon brushes, random selection of paint (Reaper and Vallejo, I believe). Feel free to bring your own mini, as well ... (more) |
