One artist, a rake, and a tide clock. Andres Amador's massive geometric sand drawings vanish before the day ends, and that's the whole point.

As well as painting miniatures, I do photography too. This shot generated some real issues I hadn't anticipated. I hadn't realised how green the skin would be with the sun reflecting off the fauna. So much faff was needed in Photoshop.

A while back my family and I went to a pride event. They had a fun fare and everything but what struck me the most is that it was absent of bell ends. No gammon swilling beers looking for fights. Just genuinely lovely people just having fun. Also, no surgery tents converting people.

Finally happened, my father passed away at 3pm today. Managed to say goodbye on Sunday, not sure who benefitted from that really. I've had good people, friends and family, around me to make sure I didn't turn out like him.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

Today I said goodbye to my dad. We did not have a good relationship. I have felt anger and rage throughout my life because of him. Yet still, it hurts.

I have a confession to make. This is my Orc and Goblin army. Thing is, I'm actually an elf player. And my elf army is about four times the size of my Orc Army.... I have much painting to do. #warhammer #oldhammer #orcs #elves #moga #miniaturepainting

Little fella done, more WiP behind. Lots of spearmen to do, couple units of Citadel, couple of units Mantic. In between I'll be bouncing around on Orcs, High Elves and Dark Elves. #warhammer #oldhammer #moga #orcs #goblins #miniaturepainting

I know this isn't terrorism. You know this isn't terrorism. The authorities know this isn't terrorism. But, once again, they have labelled protesters "terrorists", as part of the long-running programme to ensure that no one dares protest about anything any more. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Ok, the Dark Elf (Witch Elf) is done, the two Goblins are done (just 8 more to complete the mega unit of 50), but the Orc is in a huff as he's still a work in progress... #warhammer #oldhammer #miniaturepainting #moga #Orcs #Darkelves #witchelf

Visited by family friends yesterday. He was proud he's been creating music, with AI. Now to be fair, he's creating segments of drums etc, then putting them into the likes of cubase and fruity loops, heavily editing, then putting together. The killer though, he's also using AI for therapy....

Arron Banks is helping us send a nice clear message - if you scrutinise the dodgy finances of Reform, you will be sued or put under surveillance. Perfectly normal behaviour from people who want to govern a democracy.

Here we are. A Trump linked US oil drilling company lands it's equipment on Greenland. It's led by ex-military. Let me guess, they want Greenland to reject, by force, some casualties, then they'll have the excuse to respond militarily. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I have done a thing. Whilst I've been painting miniatures, I have also been working on a scenery board that I can use to take photos of miniatures. Still a work in progress, but it's getting there. I've worked with real models too in a studio, but looking to carry those skills into shooting minis.

It's one hell of a work in progress. My Orc and Goblin horde. Quite a few are rescues from eBay, so there are more but they're in pieces, including an Orc chariot. The gaming boards also need a new layer of grass. #warhammer #oldhammer #miniaturepainting #wargaming #fantasybattle

The 2 Goblins are done, and in their unit, and the Orc is done, and in his unit (nearly got the front row done). The Dark Elf is not finished. Tomorrow, game on, Orcs v High Elves, and I'll post shots of how the Orc Horde looks now. #warhammer #oldhammer #miniaturepainting #orcs

The Dark Elf is a lot more fiddly than the Orcs, but progress on all four. Different styles going forward. Black undercoat for the Orcs and Goblins and my more "old school" approach, whereas with Elves it has to be white undercoat and more precise work. #oldhammer #warhammer #miniaturepainting

Another group in progress, 1 Orc, 2 Goblins, and a Dark Elf. Entirely different process in painting the Witch Elf, so we'll see how it goes! #oldhammer #warhammer #miniaturepainting #orcs #goblins #darkelf #witchelf #moga

Skin now done on the Orcs. I still have my old Windsor & Newton brushes from the 80s/90s, and a Da Vinci brush. Great brushes. Have some Citadel brushes and they're "ok", and have some others that are "meh". #warhammer #miniaturepainting #oldhammer #Orcs #moga

Have started on another small batch, two Orcs and two goblins. I do prefer painting the Orcs more as they're a bit less fiddly. #warhammer #miniaturepainting #oldhammer #orcs #goblins #moga

It wasn't painted particularly well, and the paint has faded over time. Early on in my painting endeavours. As a model I always thought it was tremendous, a thundering behemoth heading towards the Orc units #warhammer #oldhammer

Evidence has mounted that the supposed “gash” in the Reflecting Pool is... ...tire tracks Trump caused by insisting his many-ton presidential convoy drive on the pool’s fragile surface. Why? He was too lazy to walk. Per his own edict, he must now do 10 years in federal prison.

The title reads.. "17 Years Later, the Best Sci-Fi Movie You've Never Watched Is Officially Streaming Free" They're talking about the film "Moon". I would have thought most people into sci-fi would have seen it, but these are clickbait times, so who knows.

Finished the movement tray, recycling fence panels smashed by various storms. Left some space so that it's not snug as ranking figures up can be tight. This is Skarloc's Wood Elf Archers, with Skarloc himself. After 30 years, finally finished. #warhammer #oldhammer #miniatures #miniaturepainting

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.
