I just found out about and purchased painting tutorials by Miniature Mentor with Golden Demon winner Laurent Esposito Mas.
The videos are just amazing and well worth the money if your looking to raise your painting to the next level. The video is very well focused and zoomed into the actual painting. If you’ve ever been in a painting class and wished you could get a good look at the technique used, these videos are for you.
Not only does the company have painting videos, but they also have sculpting videos for those looking to improve their conversions or to bring an idea of their own to light.

I finally joined part of the Web 2.0/Social website kick. I won’t do Facebook or MySpace, due to personal information concerns, but music is always good for painting so I have joined last.fm.
I have added my personal recently played list to the right hand side of the site. Overall, I’m happy with the service, it’s very much like our local 97.9 BOB FM radio, but I get to pick the artists and no ads.
So what will you see and hear on my radio? Nerdcore, folk-rock, and 80’s alternative.
Enjoy!

Sorry about the extended downtime. There were some issues when the site was migrated.
I’m working on getting the order of the migrated site corrected still, but all of our content is up and working.
Update: Post order is now working correctly. Thistle & Shrub Studios apologizes for the down time.

Our hosting provider is migrating Thistle & Shrub Studios on Feb. 16, 2008
Part of this migration is a change in the DNS system which may take a couple of days to propagate across the internet.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for you.

What is Thistle & Shrub Studios?
We are three guys who paint miniatures for fun, located in Central Illinois (not close to Chicago). We normally work on Games Workshop models, but we do venture out into other miniatures at times.
We have more information about us available. If you just want to see the minis head to our gallery. We no longer take commissions, but check out Paintedfigs.com for model painting.

Blood Bowl
Central Illinois Blood Bowl, aka CIBBL, has been a nice distraction from painting for the painters of Thistle & Shrub Studios. Why don't you have a look at the chaos of our Wizards College® at work.
Studio Partners
Paintedfigs.com provides high quality work on units and armies at the lowest prices that I know of.
Models Rodney is currently working on.
