I’ve had this idea for Bond for a while.

He’s basically an archetype now, so make a TV series of different takes on the character: two-handers, epics, animated, gender-swapped… basically push what you can do.

And have a different theme by current artists for each episode.

The character rubber ducks have annoyed me more than Labubu ever could.

Just saw a man get on the train with three full Pop Mart bags.

My friend, Labubu is dead. I saw its very soul a-rising from its body, a-hollerin’ and shakin’ as its furry little body was pulled toward the light…

AND THEN!

The devil snatched him clean from the Lord!

Witnessed clear as day.

Am I putting off the nudey guy art people with the mini painting, or am I putting off the mini painting people with the nudey guy art?

Or, more importantly, does it matter and who cares? 🤷‍♂️

But of all the minis I’ve painted so far (around 180 I think) from #MythicBattlesPantheon, #Poseidon is one of my favourites. It really expands the interpretation, and reflects the monstrousness of the god himself. And the sculpt is amazing.

This felt like an achievement - I’ve now painted the 12 Olympian gods (no Hestia as yet) from the #tabletopgame #MythicBattlesPantheon, with varying degrees of success…

Spare a thought for us atheists. When someone truly abominable dies, we don’t have the comfort that they’ll get theirs afterwards.

Gay Pope Demon Hunters… is that anything?

Just finished painting #Demeter, and really impressed with this mini.

Particularly as almost all the female characters in the rest of the #MythicBattlesPantheon are essentially very sexualised, while the male figures aren’t (not very Ancient Greek!).

As an exponent of the perfect typo, I love seeing them out in the wild. Did you know that J. C. Leyendecker inspired Normal Rockwell?
