For those of you who have been following Benjamin’s progress, he is now officially considered “cured” of FIP! This disease was once considered 100% fatal, but there is now treatment available. If you have any questions about that treatment, I’m happy to answer them.

It’s been a while, but I got some painting in today.

Meanwhile, Benji’s over here tormenting his brothers and raising hell and I couldn’t be happier.❤️

As you might know, (1) I am a huge animal lover and (2) my cat Benjamin has been fighting FIP this year. I rarely share donation requests, but this one is urgent for another cat fighting FIP. This guy is 2/3 of the way done with treatment and his family has been through the ringer this year...

I sure miss my wonderful wife and kids, but it’s been a fun weekend in Phoenix seeing family and old friends, playing games and catching up.

Our little warrior Benjamin has been fighting FIP this year. Up until a few years ago, this was a death sentence for cats. But there is now a treatment that is as much as 90% effective in curing the disease (although some vets still don’t know about it and recommend euthanasia).

A fine Sunday morning spent watching documentaries and painting little dudes.

Tinkering around with this fella as a new project. I have a bunch of projects in random states of starting/finishing. I’m having trouble getting them over the finish line lately.

Another one of my favorites - I call this one "Santa on Vacation". He gets tired of hanging out with reindeer all of the time.

I know this guy is not the flashiest model out there, but I personally love this paint job. I tried to do a lot with a very limited palette and use subtle color and brushstrokes to give him a lot of character. It doesn't hurt that he's a fellow gorilla, either!

I've started to force myself to hobby a bit lately, but the progress is small and not worth sharing. So instead here's a throwback to a model I had a lot of fun painting. One of my favorite movies and movie characters.

I have been very quiet lately, I know. It's just one of those periods where life is getting in the way of hobbying. Work, family, sick pets, ... it's a lot right now! But here is my current project. I'll get back to it sometime...

Hello and welcome! I love painting miniatures. Here are some of my favorites! #miniaturepainting
