Since it is pushing 5am and I am still painting, I decided it was time to post these images.
As recently as a few years ago, it was quite common for our electricity cut out, sometimes for days. Storms would really be bad for keeping the lights on!
That caused a bit of an issue in keeping the line moving on painting. There were a number of occasions when I painted 2D art by candle or lamp light.
Here is an example of doing the same thing with miniatures!
It got pretty toasty, to be sure, since it was the dead of summer, with not even a fan to move the air. Surrounded by candles was less helpful for keeping cool as well.
For those who are familiar with our Road Show, they are used to seeing me hauling case after case into a given location to set up the mobile studio. This is my set up in the hotel room at Adepticon last year.
I have been asked many times how I get such a horrific number of minis painted in such little time. This hidden camera photo is from a Chuck Goudy ABC news probe investigation...
