Years ago my old boss at GW told me, "There's always a first time you discover something." It changed how I thought about sharing seemingly simple or 'obvious' stuff. So, to that end, while some of this might be old hat to folks, someone out there might be today's lucky find!

Got this in my inbox this morning and assumed it had somehow got to April 1st without me noticing, but no, apparently this is for real. And, after a moment of WTF? it strikes me that this is actually a good idea. Take it from me, model building has real MH benefits.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗
comic: when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns. if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind. if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind. I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

A pale-skinned giant, their skin filthy with grime, stomping through a smokey, fog covered ruined stone city. Their clothing is a collection of different green fabrics crudely stitched together with leather straps. They are shirtless, but have a hooded cap covering their head and they hold a heavy chain flail with a stone at the end.

The Marauder IIC from the ACES box set is so wonderfully sleek. Definitely a fun looking mech!

I'm not sure why I got out of the habit, but I'm going to resume this cleansing ritual on New Year's Day (weather-permitting). I'm still trying to decide which pieces will be going into the fire, so everything on the site is 25% off until then! Click here to rescue some art: jensantarelli.com

Long-time followers of mine may remember that I used to burn old artwork about once a year to free up space. Not only does it feel good to de-clutter my house in the physical sense, but it's mentally cathartic as well.

This post is the sign you’ve been waiting for to get into painting miniatures in 2026. Don’t worry about your skill level, or learning the lore, or having to play the game after - I promise you, you will thoroughly love the journey of simply painting a mini. It’s also so therapeutic. Do it :)

A very large, scary looking santa claus standing in an alleyway of a ruined stone city. It is nighttime and he is carrying a long wooden club with spikes at the end in his right hand and dragging a large leather bag with his left. His red coat and cap are ragged and torn as he leers down at you.
