12/5/07 - It must be some kind of record.  Two miniatures in less than a week.  Hmmm...

Well, I have been greatly anticipating painting the works of Tre Manor since I first saw his greens.  Needless to say I am NOT disappointed in his work... Not to mention he is a really great guy as well.  So I am proud to present my work on his Friar Stone from Reaper Miniatures...

You can check out the images in the New Works gallery, and also he's for sale on my Sales page.  Hey, just because I'm not doing commissions, it doesn't mean I can't still sell the occasional mini.

Now given that the Christmas tree is currently in place of where my painting table used to be I'm not sure when I get another piece done.  But do keep checking back...

 

11/28/07 - Yes, I'm alive.  Yes, I just recently got back to painting.  Yes, yes, yes... and NO.  I am not taking any further commissions. 

Finally picking up a brush in quite some time, I finished off an outstanding commission.  It was a take on Elminster, the Sage of Shadowdale (Forgotten Realms) using a Reaper miniature sculpted by Jason Wiebe.  I think it turned out well, although I am not sure why my Dull Coat is coming out so glossy at the moment.

Anyway, check out the images in the New Works gallery.  Hopefully I will free up more time to paint even though I'm working retail during the holiday season... D'oh!

 

10/07/07 - My apologies as I didn't realize that I accidentally deleted the link to my image galleries.  The link is now back up and working!  Thanks to those that sent emails alerting me to this condition!

Ok, back to work...

 

09/28/07 - As of today I am no longer accepting commissions for miniature painting.  I'm out of the commission business of miniatures.  I've taken a job in the evenings and between spending time with my family and my new work, I will not use my time to paint for others.  I will be painting what I want, when I want, and how I want. 

That said, for those handful of you that still have commissions outstanding, I will be completing those as soon as possible. 

Thank you to all of you who have purchased my work by commission over the last three and a half years.  It has been a great source of pride to me that you have coveted my work.  Thanks!  I wouldn't be where I am today without the work I've done for all of you.

I will still paint miniatures, but as I said... what I want to paint.  And occasionally I may still put the odd piece or two up on eBay or for private sale here on my website.  Check back often, please!

Thanks again, everyone.
