Another model hits ebay - this time it is the Grey Knight bust build from GW's Inquisitor Artemis in 54 mm.

It is for sure something unique here and if you are a fan of Grey Knights a fair starting price of 0.99 $ should get your interest - click on the banner to get directed to the auction and all information:

Hi Di Ho!



All of the Massive Voodoo Monkeys went on some kind of Expedition recently and for me it was time to Dig Deep Down into that Jungle just to return with some Old Treasures from the Past...^_^...

After filming the Video for the Diorama it seemed like a Great Opportunity to put some older Projects up also, so they might be seen (and understood...) in a New Way from a lot more Perspectives... It also serves as an opportunity to tidy the Showcase up for some New, Upcoming Work (that is getting bigger and bigger lately...:D...), and to reflect on a couple of Aspects with some distance, so... Please drop me a Line if you are interested in Buying any of those upcoming Goldies and we can start talking about the Price (Bananas, Cookies, Krügerrand Coins, lot´s of them, uggghghhgg... I am not all that Greedy...:P...)...

This Weeks Diorama is my Project for the French Golden Demon 2009, which was held at the Parc Floral in the Beautiful Vincennes District in Paris... It was truly a Special Project, heavily condensed and the Beginning of a more "creative" approach to Miniatures (since it is mostly Scratchbuild...)... It is still one of my Favourite and personal Pieces... 

One of the Strangest Things I have heard about it was the Interpretation of a Fellow Painter that asked why the Puppet Master Kills, Burns and Eats the Children in the Stove of his Ghypsie Waggon...o__O... I was not too happy with that Interpretation at all... Although I wanted to allow a very multi layered and kinda symbolic Imagery it was beyond my Imagination that it can be seen that way...:)... Guess I can be Happy that my Mind is twisted, but in an Optimistic, Good Way...:D...  

If I would change One Thing About it: I would add an additional little Story inside the Base that can be seen through the Sewer Grid... Now it´s a Sad, Black Surface with not much going on... But yeah, the Rest came out Way Better then Expected...:D...

Here is the Link ...

The Videos will be released every Wednesday (because Wednesday lies in the Middle of the Week and therefore deserves a bit more Attention...:)...)...

Next Week´s Project will be a Rarely Seen Duel that I have not published so far, so stay tuned... Hope you enjoy the Show...:)...

Enjoy Your Week...^_^...

... in a Buffalo Herd was the first thing i had in mind while doing the painting class in Berlin. A lot of participants but we all had our fun - so you can rollerskate in a buffalo herd when the buffalos are wearing rollerskates too :D

It was a great weekend and I want to say many thanks to everyone involved. We arrived home save today and as soon as possible when all that stuff is back in place a big review to the class will be written. A little preview - thanks to Robert for the fast group shot email:


More to come soon!
Happy Painting and thanks again for such a nice weekend!

PS: Please be patient about my emails - i'll answer soon but i got so many at the moment after 5 days off ...

Hey guys,

while big Kong and little Capuchin are in Berlin for some days (visitig Mati and holding a quite big painting class), I stayed here in Augsburg. While waiting for their return I keep myself busy with making some thoughts about my further way in life, my topic for my (possible) dissertation and of course doing some painting stuff ;)

After I moved to my new flat painting is a lot more fun and I slowly make progress with my (so it sometimes feels) never ending Murmillo-project ;)

So here are some impressions of my new workplace and the gladiator:














Well, you see there is still a lot to do to finish this big guy... In the last days I kept my focus on the skin, especially on the arm holding the shield. I tried some new things with oil-colours and I´m quite satisfied with the results... but still a long way to go ;)

Keep on going your own ways!
Peter
