7 Hours left on the Wamp Select Series Kickstarter
Hi guys, just a quick note to say that the Wamp Select Series Kickstarter ends in just over 7 hours. It's been an exhausting 2 weeks for me and Brett, and safe to say that the fact the total is now over £40,000 is mind blowing, as we worked out our target to be £850 - the cost of getting the minimum number of sets of brushes produced. Now we have Brushes, a mini, lovely art books from Figone and Massive Voodoo, the Black Hand Special set and access to all of the Wamp minis.
So, if you had a look at the beginning of the campaign and decided you didn't fancy brushes, there are plenty of other things there that might tempt you if you take a second look.
It closes at midnight tonight GMT, so get your skates on!

Brambleten's Tour of Gotham - Part 6: The Head of the Demon 6/50
It turns out that helping run a Kickstarter (Wamp Select Series Paintbrushes - If you haven't seen them yet, where have you been?) is rather more work than either me or Brett anticipated so it's been a massively busy week. Because of this, I haven't been able to finish this guy as quickly as I would have liked. However, he is now done and I'm rather happy with him.

Making a Wet Palette
Since I started painting, I've always used a solid surface to mix my paint on - currently it's a white tile that gets cleaned down every couple of weeks. After hearing consistently about them being better, I watched a few tutorials last night in how to build wet palettes. As it turns out they are rather simple, so I built one.

This post was supposed to be written and out for 8pm, its currently 9.45 and I'm only just getting to it. This is mostly down to the project flying along and being funded within an hour!

Annie The Dice Bag Lady has put up Red Star Coven's third set of "Stunty Henchmen" on her website for general release. These little critters could easily be mistaken for popular yellow characters from a couple of animated films who have earned themselves a spin off film to be released later in the year.
