Happy Holidays!

I'm just writing to say happy holidays to all you wonderful people. We've gained a few patrons in the past couple of days and I'm happy to see all you new people and am happy for all the people who have stuck around. I hope you're having a good rest whether that's with family or by yourself. Also...

Early release video!

This is an easier video to make, just me recounting the last year of doing youtube videos and having some fun with some typical youtuber gags.

I'm happy to announce as well that I am officially 2 weeks ahead of my release schedule so you will still get an early release video next Frida...

Early release video!

I'm starting to get a hang of doing this "in the moment" painting videos. They can very easily become long, boring, and unengaging but they are far easier to produce. This one still isn't the greatest, but I have ideas for format for later videos that will make this better! Only 1 day behind on my 1...

Video Release!

New video out this Friday. Sorry it's not an early release. I was up until midnight finishing it up last night. I have a plan to get back on track (again) and it involves a skit video and some extra time off of work over the holiday season. Thank you for your unlimited patience, it really means a lo...

What up mini family?! Long time, no see. That's entirely my fault. So is the fact that the early release videos aren't coming out on time. Let's back it up and explain what's going on. In October, I struggled to get those 2 larger videos out on time setting me back a full week on my production sched...

Early Release & Thank You

Slowly but surely I'm catching up with being a week ahead of my release schedule thanks to the help from Jon! I'd also like to apologize for skipping the BTS post this week. I was so wrapped up with shooting and editing Jon's video that I just never ended up writing one. With Thanksgiving fast appro...

Congratulations Scott O!

Early release!

Here's a video about my favorite brush and why I like it! It's coming out a day early. The next video is fully done, just need to edit it. Hopefully I can get back on track!

I need your help

I have a goal to making YouTube my full time job by March 2019, so I'm always thinking about ways that I can be better, open up additional revenue streams and whatnot (this is not a cry for money). This month of reviewing gear and recommending it is an opportunity to boost my income through amazon a...

What up, mini family?! 

I'm a few days late here on the BTS post. Sorry about that. I've been hustling to finish this Primer comparison video. It came right down to the wire and I finished the video Thursday night, started the export and went to sleep. I then woke up Friday to discover that P...

Behind the Scenes #15

I figured for this BTS post, we could do something fun! Here is the directory's commentary (note: I say director's cut in the video, that's wrong, I meant commentary) for my most recent youtube video, Haunting in the Hobby Room. I figured the name was unimportant so I didn't include it in the actual...

What up mini family!? 

So much stuff has happened since last we spoke, let's get it on:

I am GRINDING on this table non-stop. It is such a slog! I had to make another trip to home depot (this would be like my 16th one) to pick up some more materials because I'm a doofus.

What up mini family?! 

This past week has been all about carpentry and getting the pick up shots for my short film coming out on Halloween!

Glazing Tutorial Incoming

Hey guys and gals,

I use the technique of glazing quite often in my videos and I think it's high time to create a technique video for it. I want to test a lot of different glazing scenarios, but I need your help coming up with more things to consider! Here's my list:
