Flips wonderful Journey through the World of Miniature Painting

Greetings fellow travelers,

as promised I continue on last issues topic, which was:

...usage of themes for a paintjob.

What do I mean with that?

Through our painting we can transport a mood, feeling, thoughts and so on. The first step of the painting process for every one of us is to ask “What do I want to achieve with this paintjob”....

What I mean with this I explained in the last topic, so for the ease of reading I won’t ...

Good Morning fellow Travelers,

ok, this is awkward. Contrary to my announcement about a year ago, I didn’t make good on my promise to write regularly again. Well, I won’t bore you with a detailed account of everything that has caused this, but just lets say life has held me quite busy. Nevertheless as things have a habit to go, some stability came into my life again. After moving from Wuppertal to Lübeck (my favorite town in Germany) I have some time for painting again. So much ...

Sorry about that! I had/have some health issues, which prevented me from concentrating on the Bloq. But fortunately, I'm a bit better now, and can continue to write here.

This entry is somewhat spontaneous, so I don't have a very big Topic, just wanted to show some life signs.

There will ...

Hello fellow Artists,

today as promised a non 40k related topic! And the topic shall be the little breaks our hobby sometimes needs.

As with all creative hobbies or activities you can’t force the muse to come to you. Sometimes the muse is on vacation, and so should you!

This struck me while my fiancée and I were in Spain. We made a little pilgrimage from Léon to Oviédo, about 126 km long. It was a great journey, and it made some things clear to me. ...

Greetings fellow Artists!

Today I bring to you a Post about love.
As you can imagine from the title, the Topic are Terminators.

And before you ask, no I don't mean the big naked guys, hurting other guys to wear cool leather jackets and sunglasses. Nor will I bring cool one liners to you. This time I want to talk about the equally heavily muscled guys, being a bit taller than good old Arnie and wearing not leather jackets but ridiculously heavy Armour. The Astartes ...

So this is the real start of my Blog, an I thought it would be a good Idea to start at the beginning of my Painting Journey. As I'm no native speaker in english, please be gentle about writing errors.

I was about sixteen years old and…. Well no no no, thats not where it really startet.

The first glimpse of what was to become my favorite Hobby showed itself when I was merely eight years old. I was together with my mother in store for household items, toys and other ...
