The ABA stands firmly with Chief Justice John Roberts’ statement rejecting calls by government officials to impeach federal judges who issue rulings with which they disagree.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

The Vallejo strike has been going for two full weeks. They are striking for safer working conditions, a policy to protect against workplace harassment, as well as a 15% pay raise to bring them closer to the regional average wage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVqE...
Why the Vallejo staff is on strike and what can we do to support them?

The longer the owners hold out and refuse to negotiate, the louder the art and mini painting communities should get. I'm barely at 10% volume right now, but I am making the choice to NOT feature Vallejo products in my videos until this is resolved with all of the workers' demands met.

A 40k commission I just finished!
Was asked to paint the clients best mate as Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines in a stately portrait style.
Always good fun painting space marines!

Post a face!

And please add ALT text to your photos for accessibility and discoverability. Just describe what you see in the picture. It’s fun to write little stories about your little guys.

Oil on Panel - 26" x 16"

As a native Californian, I really enjoy the change in seasons that I experience living in New England. There is even beauty to be found in the shadows of the leafless trees against the pale gray winter sky. 1/2

This is what’s currently on the painting table, a gift for a friend. Trying to push the cast shadows and environmental lighting again. Trust in the power of the greys #minipainting #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #warhammer

WIP of a bust of Tom Hardy as James Keziah Delaney in the 2017 FX series Taboo. Painted in oils and acrylics. Trying out cast shadows. Still a ways to go. #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures

I like to revisit this Warhammer necromancer every few years. I may never finish them. My latest attempt left them in fluorescent colors and some glow experiments. My next attempt will try to match the grim dark illustration and I’ll cut away all the sharp points on the cloak.

My only remaining minis from my childhood. A few very early TSR DND minis (from late 70s), and some oldhammer Citadel minis from the late 80s. Anybody else have stuff this old?

As much as I like miniature painting, I tend to devote more time to organizing, swatching, digitizing, and cataloging my 100s of hobby paints and matte artist acrylics. This chart finds the paints in my collection with the highest chroma and value (brightness), plus neutrals and shades. For mixing.

Some early sketching WIPs of Warhammer Age of Sigmar miniatures. A jaundiced Orruk Krule boy and a witch hunter.

During parents weekend at Brehm preparatory school in Carbondale IL, we stayed at a cabin in Shawnee national forest and it was dark enough to see the Milky Way!

I’ve been spending some of my hobby time transferring my tubed artist oil paints to dropper bottles, thinned with gamsol and oil matte medium. Goes on smooth on my warhammer little guys.

I’m 3 years late to the party, but this web series has some great aesthetic vibes that resonate with me. Mash up of Möbius, French comics, Luc Besson, Delicatessen/Alien Resurrection/City of Lost Children, Blade Runner. Plus it’s weird in the best way. youtu.be/29E-HNTWEOE?...

With a variety of silicone beads, you can create a large reference of chroma and value gradation in consistent form light. Then load your photo reference into ChromaMagic for analysis. #color #colour #colortheory #artreference #2dart #traditionalart
