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.
