I don't know my name anymore,
I don't know why my muscles keep me standing
but what I know is that I am still painting :D ...

Truely voodoo action going on these days with my bibab (Brother in Brains and Brushes), Raffa. We realized we never had such 3 weeks painting 8~15 hours a day for weeks now ... Games Day is coming close and we both look so much forward to meet everyone there. This posting catches the madness of these days pretty well and so we got to start with fine music :)

Seriously ...

... the jungle will stay silent for a while until after the german Games Day has passed, but as far as I can remember I write this in every posting :D

Spending a lot of time in the studio and working, working, working. This means not much email conversation is possible with me these days. Will be back I promise but right now the focus is strictly to finish up my last project for GD. Raffa is working hard too and in the end we both are a mixture of these two gestures right now but way more tired :D




Private Practice
Last week on Thursday I had another private practice with Patrick from Munich and I want to say thanks again for a nice day. The practice was just about some hours but we had a nice time and my student learned a lot as he told me in the aftermath.

I was truely amazed by his result for testing my private practice class content in the limited time we had. I did paint up a little Goblin from Imbrian Arts for explanations, while my student did paint a nice Hasslefree Lady. Not too fancy that lady was, as time was limited all in all to a small number of hours.



If you are interested in private practice you can read a big report from Thorsten over here in german and english language.  If you want to know details about your private practice lessons you may contact Roman and/or Raffa for a quote - Please be aware: the answers might take until after the Games day.

Review - 'Malzeit!/Painting' PARTY!

by Roman aka jar

posted by roman, jarhead, kong



Ok, this is something else than the usual miniature and jungle stuff.

We had our first party in our studio to celebrate the studio and my 30th birthday.
Many friends and family arrived during the weekend to get the party started at Saturday night. Thanks to everyone who helped in the preparations, but especially to my girl, Anna for preparing the dinner in such an awesome way ... I still dream of this table at night.





























Thanks to all our guests who made this weekend so cool'n'un-forgettable!

Raffa and I had a plan as we called the invitation and the theme of the party "Malzeit!", which means Painting Time. We prepared some canvas for a big painting, in fact the "last supper" by maestro Da Vinci was the main inspiration. We planned to paint it with apes, monkey and banana.

In fact this was some awesome choice. We just prepared the background, constructed the room and gave the apes a little birth with rough pencil sketches. After the fabolous dinner and some drinks we started the painting with a little explanation by me and Raffa. Everyone was allowed to paint what and where he wants and some small introduction in materials was added too.

After this announcement I was really stunned by that power colours and paint had on our guests as a lot of them did meet for the first time. It was true communication via paint and a cool getting to know eachother. I was really thankful that this worked well in the end as I was pretty excited the days before ...



THE END
... so far ...

No, not yet - you might ask what happened to the canvas and the last supper? It became an awesome painting with so much good memories to this night, but it is still not finished yet, as Raffa and I still have to work detail on the background and the table, monkeys are so cool!!!! ... and they will be surely shown here in the jungle, BUT Raffa and I we have to dive deep in our Games Day projects now ... whatever, thanks to everyone who was a part of this Saturday night and for sure at Sunday's clean up :)
