    Whole new levels of pain and suffering.

    Right. So, things haven\'t been going great the last couple of weeks, and as some of you are aware, I\'ve stepped down from my lofty position of paint-off challenge referee, because of it. So, I figured, I\'m pretty much an emotional basket-case, right now, so why don\'t I throw it all in there...

    Mysteries of Life

    A new thread for the questions that plague us, however silly they might be. Here\'s mine. 1: When you use that \'Hand Sanitizer\' stuff, where does the dirt go? 2: How do women fit so much stuff into those teeny tiny handbags? 3: How do they manage to make computers so that they break down...

    Happy Yew Near!

    Idiotic Commercials...

    So, commercials alternate between amusing me or annoying me, depending on what\'s being sold and how they\'re trying to sell it. This particular commercial generally sets me to snickering, if not laughing, as various thoughts pop into my head when it comes on. Smart Bread. The quote that gets...

    So, I proposed...

    Yes, that\'s right. Earlier this week, after several weeks of waiting for \'the right time\'. I\'d meant to do it a few weeks back, but we had some scheduling conflicts. I considered waiting until Christmas, briefly, but then decided I didn\'t want a family(ies) holiday to wind up being just...

    Completely Irrelevant Nonsense

    So, I\'m watching television. Well, mostly listening to it while I paint, and there\'s a death on a show. A man standing in the middle of the street, talking, and suddenly.... WHAM! A bus hits him. Now, I\'ll grant, the middle of the street isn\'t the best place to carry on a conversation...

    Wanted: Helldorado Miniatures

    I\'ve been looking and looking, and these just don\'t seem to be available in North America. If anyone in Europe is willing to grab some for me, I\'ll be more than happy to reimburse them. I\'m particularly enchanted by the Mercenary faction minis, though a few of the Demons are also real beauties.

    The Speed of Karma ?

    It\'s been a very strange couple of weeks for me. Lots of ups and downs, to say the least. But the kicker of it is, all of the downs have been followed almost immediately by something quite good happening, as well. It may have been going on for longer, but it\'s been so prevalent, lately, that...

    Have trouble with colour schemes? Here\'s a helper!

    This is a pretty nifty helper I found while trying to find an interactive colour wheel. It even has settings for different artistic directions. Tinker. Hopefully you\'ll find it helpful. Those with good senses of colour probably won\'t need this. :)...

    Explosions in my neighbourhood.

    Just before 4 am, today, I was awakened violently. Not 2km away, a propane storage facility had a fire, complete with many explosions. The nearby neighbourhood\'s been evacuated (lucky for me, I\'m just outside the evacuation area), and at this time, the fire is under control according to the...

    Joss Whedon fans will love this, I think...

    My first conversion - Harbinger of Menoth

    While the original mini is very pretty, she just didn\'t convey an \'I\'m going to smite you with Menoth\'s power\' kind of feel. There was no feeling of motion. She was just floating there, and her minion priests were holding her down. I wanted her to be the Harbinger on the attack. Her pose...

    Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall

    Maybe I\'m alone in this sort of thing, but I thought it might be helpful for some other painters as well, when I found it. When people talk about fashions, they talk about whether a person is a \'summer\' or a \'fall\' colour person, and this, for the longest time, baffled me completely. Then...

    Reaper: Finari, Female Justicar (Pic Heavy)

    Inspiration often changes our plans for the order of pieces we work on, doesn\'t it? I had been working on a Rackham Wolfen for my girlfriend to use for her White Wolf game, but her group hadn\'t met to play for a couple of sessions, so it fell, temporarily, out of the top priority slot. After...

    Further Adventures in Spring Cleaning

    Well, it had been a couple of months, and things had deteriorated, as they are wont to do in a bachelor\'s apartment. The floor had been hidden by more than piles of folded laundry, though, for the man had (after years of thinking about it) finally actually started doing more than collect little...

    Hordes Warlock - Hoarluk

    A lot of fun painting this fellow. I haven\'t got anything to say about him that would expand on my own comments on the image page. http://www.coolminiornot.com/192742

    BP\'s Strange Question of the Week.

    Why does \'post-apocalyptic\' in films, comics, and the like always seem to mean that many people get mohawks, start wearing make-up, and wear a veritable collage of sports gear and leather, instead of sensible clothes and left over flak jackets?

    I have seen Prince Caspian, and it is good.

    I\'ve just gotten home from seeing it, and it was perhaps the fastest 2.5 hours that have passed for me in the last five years. I was very much impressed by all performances, despite occasionally having to resist the urge to yell \'This is SPARTA!\'. I won\'t put any major spoilers to print...

    NoooOOOOooooo!!!!

    Bad. Bad movie people! Why are they so determined to take anything that was good in my youth and ruining it? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/ Ok. Maybe it wasn\'t \'good\', but it was fun.
