Another of Sean's Pirate Undead Dregs! This dreg has clearly fallen afoul of the Sartosan populace but nonetheless continues to bring the fight! Love the texture and tones on Sean's paint job, and the steering wheel on the base! . #mordheim #RtheC #warhammer #aos #paintingwarhammer #wargaming #tabletop #ageofsigmar #gamesworkshop #citadel #tabletopwargames #paintingminis #pirates #sartosa #steeringwheel #undead #dreag #stocks #Conversion #bitz https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_2x8JHaQN/?igshid=mhfyqkqqhh4t

The fear of shadows...

During a benign, turned heated, discussion recently, I was told “You’ve always been afraid of your own shadow!”. I replied “And why do you think that is?” The response was “I have no idea”. Dismissive? Maybe. Denial? Likely. Wanting to avoid facing faults? Most certainly. It is true, though. I’ve always been scared and highly sensitive. This conversation was with my mother, whom I have an…

It's been a while, vol. 693...

I realize I have many, many blog posts with that title. Anyway, here’s a newly finished drawing. I’m working on the title, but it’s pastel, watercolor, and watercolor pencil on hot press watercolor paper.

Tiny sketch...

I was looking through my old sketchbooks filled with doodles and I found a little watercolor face I did that I decided to make much bigger. So far, it’s all graphite and I’m not sure if I’m going to add color to it at some point. I kind of like it as is, although I’d like to deepen the shadows.

Leave it to memory me...

This is something I’m currently working on. It’s close to being done as it’s close to what I see in my head. I’ve discovered through the process that I quite like soft pastels and plan to use more of them in various ways. My mistake with this (one of the many) was not fixing the layers as I did them. Also, my cat, Judah Lorin, apparently really likes the taste of pastels, so it’s yet another…

A story about how scoliosis saved me…

It’s a gnarly disease that affects the body in terrible ways, but hear me out (or read, rather). I developed it early, around 11 years old, and had to go to Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children in Erie, PA for treatment. Erie was massive and fascinating, compared to my hometown/village, which was about 3 hours East of Erie. At the time, my hometown consisted of all white hunters, fisherman,…

Ain't done shite....

Yes, the title makes me cringe as well. There is some truth to it, though. Today I haven’t done anything (unless being in extreme physical pain and dissociating for a period of time due to a triggering conversation count). Otherwise, no art, no cleaning, nothing. Yesterday, though (Saturday), I finally made it to Blotto off of New Bern Ave in Raleigh. It’s a bar my friend owns and it opened 6ish…

Some progression...

I’ve been working on this for a couple of days. Graphite on hot press watercolor paper. I’m not yet sure if color will be added, but if I do, it will be my typical style. I’m also debating on whether or not I should leave the white space surrounding the figure or if I should toss my usual type of landscape in there. Ugh, decisions. Either way, the finished piece will be graphite and pastel. I…
