After getting her base pattern established, I “painted” her hair, towel and mask with latex masking agent. After that I could invoke some magic (with an intentionally misadjusted airbrush) to add the stars:

New WIP for a classic sculpt “Dreamtime”. I’ve wanted to do a galaxy pattern for a while, and I was inspired to try it here. First step is nebula colors. #minipainting #miniaturepainting #miniatureart #tabletop #galaxy #nebula #space

Shadows of Brimstone Cowgirl. She won 3rd place in the Heroes category at DiceFest 2025. I’m most proud of the freehand on her shirt and bandana, although I think I spent more time on the leather. #miniaturepainting #cowgirl #shadowsofbrimstone #minipainting #flyingfrogs #dicefest

I decided to try Roman Lappat’s “paint using only complementary colors” exercise as a speedpaint on the Reaper Mini. Fun stuff, especially the murky shades that come out of orange/blue blends! #miniaturepainting #reaperminiatures #romanlappat #minipainting #scarecrow #colortheory #paintchallenge

I also won a gold in diorama at ReaperCon 2025 for this piece centered on a Moonlight Minis robot gal and the mangled Reaper bot trying to hit on her…

We’re helping run a paint and take this weekend at Dragonflight, a Bellevue, WA gaming convention. We’re thrilled with the response! So, if you’re in the neighborhood or at the con, stop in, pick out a mini, paint it and take it home! #reaperminiatures #dragonflight #minipainting #gaming #d&d

These books were amongst my favorite fantasy series as a kid. It was wonderful to pull them back down and read them at bedtime with my son. We’d finish most sessions flipping back to the cover and talking, little fingers tracing the figures… The white dragon was the last one before he ‘grew up’.
DRAGONFLIGHT (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"
For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4

The survivalist shot is so useful to a mini painter like me: worn leather purse in something other than polished or suede, beautiful skin with centered lighting (so I can follow the hues changing with the light), and the blue jeans are just magnificent! Give her a lantern and shoot more!
We need to do more portraits asap.

We spent a weekend in Las Vegas taking a master painting class from one of the giants in the hobby, Sergio Calvo. The host was Verko’s Vault, Gary Sparks museum.
It was amazing!
