The World's Greatest Hobby Station! BTS #59

What up, mini family?! 

This week has been something of a whirlwind. First and foremost, this week is the first week that my wife has started to officially work for me! She quit her job and is helping me with all sorts of tasks. On Monday our furnace died so we had to buy a new one (a ...

First early release of 2020!

Enjoy this collaboration with Black Magic Craft where he shows me all the essential equipment someone needs to work on terrain! 

I'M BACK, BETCHES! BTS #58

Hello, mini family! Long time, no typy type. I've had a nice long break and I am fully energized to start cranking out that content again. If I'm being honest, the end kind of snuck up on me, but don't worry, I've already got finished videos in the pipeline for your eyeballs. A decent amount has ...

Regarding Politics

Hey, a conversation cropped up on reddit about my opinion of president trump claiming that I'm a "big fan". I can assure all of you that I pay so little attention to any form of politics that I'm not a fan of anyone. The only time I encounter any amount of info is when people are raging about it ...

Doc Ock: Extended cut!

I didn't know how to include the extra painting from the Doc Ock video into that edit w/o ruining the narrative, so I just made another, easy to make, video with the whole process (cutting out the basecoating because that's boring and tedious). Let me know if this is any good!

My last video for 2019

What up, mini family. Here's the early release for the last video I'm editing in 2019. Hope yuo enjoy it! 

Early EARLY release

What up, mini fam!? So, this video is going to go live on December 27th, but because of a few reasons, most notably having to re-org my basement for the podcast this week, this was an easier video to shoot and edit as opposed to a painting one where I paint doc ock, so this is super early release...

It's been a while! BTS #57

What up, mini family?! Long time, no BTS post. Let's right the ship! As you all probably know, I very recently worked on releasing a miniature for sale and making a big ol' digital course for it.

What up, mini family?! 

This has been a very busy past week. Let's dive right in. My wife and I started to package up the vampires in anticipation of selling them this coming Black Friday. Want them all to be ready to go so we can just drop them off as soon as they're purchased so they...

Airbrush FAQ

So I've finished writing the beginner airbrush script. It took me some time because I'm having various people proof read it for accuracy and I want to make sure it's laid out nicely. I thought it might be nice to add a short FAQ section to the end with a lot of common beginner questions like "do ...

Question about the Patreon video

 OK, so we're going to do a beginner airbrush video and I started to write the script for it and I naturally started to describe the anatomy of most airbrushes and also what each important part does but then I realized maybe not everyone wants to care about this. Let me know if this is somet...
