Getting back to the things you love is like riding a bike. You’re not quite as good as you remember, and everyone is a car is trying to kill you, and you’re deeply afraid that… actually this metaphor may not apply at all.

Had a little photoshoot with my cute little minis included in my #slaythespire board game!
Can’t wait to use them. They just mark our places but, life is better with art!

Sometimes the thing that’s getting in the way of you doing what you love is yourself. Forced myself to paint a little today, and I’m happy with my results.
These little slay the spire minis are just way too cute.

My poor D&D players have no idea what they’re in for 😂
Sometimes I wish someone would take over the DM chair, but a lot of times I enjoy slamming a mini on the table and watch everyone lose their shit.

I find that halfway through painting you always have a moment of “what the hell am I looking at”. Pushing through that wall takes time, and being uncomfortable is part of art’s charm.

I’m a heathen. Painting on the couch, watching tv, no drop cloth, low light. I’m just a rebel. I’m just built different.

My mini painting from 4 years ago to now. One of the best tips I can give new mini-painters is that a wet palette makes an enormous difference. It’s free skill 😂!

I love the little stilts that the Thunderkyn stand on. Storytelling is important in a model and a huge gun an a complex about being short make me smile as I’ve been working on these kyn. Rock and stone! #40k #warhammer
