Greetings to you all!

[Dragonbane]

As the title says it all I shall give you alittle more info on myself. At the ripe old age of 11 I recieved a strange magazine called White Dwarf and a plastic holder containing some metal soldiers. This was to be the start of a very long journey that I think the majority of you guys have also begun. Fast foward some 20yrs and after University, backpacking around USA, a few failed career decisions and 2 relationships, painting was lost in the void of life.
I now stand before you as a father of a 6yr old boy who has just recieved a small box of plastic Lord of The Rings miniatures from his grandmother. The same lady who started my interest all those years ago. So rather then busy myself with more mundane tasks like bills and mowing the garden I feel I need to continue my journey with my son and guide him so he if he wants he can become the painter I always wanted to be.
So I stand before you with digital camera in one hand and paintbrush in the other and salute you and hope you accept me into your ranks.

Are you mad !!! Mini painting is a creative activity which allows you to bring out your innermost feelings and reveal the true beauty of the world and allows you to put forth the kindness of that we humans are able to display in ever repeating cycle of life, it is the very essence of what makes us human, it\'s FREEDOM !!!!


Now.....where did I put my pills ..... :drunk:


Oh, and welcome to this amazing and crazy place. Hope you enjoy the ride
