Greetings and Salutations fellow Deviants
Thought i'd update the ol' Journal,got a few bits and pieces to deal with!
Firstly,this keyboard is epic fail...it is not my keyboard...i just wrote the word "fail" 3 times due to fat finger moments!
Next,Title/Tune,the old classic "Arkham Asylum" by "The man like" Sasha,a lovely trip down the musical memory lane I can think of worse ways to spend 11 minutes of my life!
I wish to congratulate ~das-fet on his second place at Salute! A fabulous achievement on his part,very proud of our resident Kiwi! I myself failed epically,my toys made it onto the judging table but was beaten by obviously far better entries! But this is ok...i got lots and LOTS of new toys...The Ben is a very happy chappy.
I did get to speak to a couple of sculptors,Werner Klocke and Adam Clarke (Freebooter and Black Scorpion respectively!) which was very useful,AND also met up with, and spent the day with,`Thebuild,who i consider to be DeviantART's resident miniature sculpting master! Rich is an awesome guy,and seeing his sculpts in real life was great and leads me to this conclusion...he needs a better camera!
So Salute was great fun again...roll on next year
Sculpting goes well,i might have something new (and a bit different) up soon
I recently read a book by Bob Servant...go to his site [link] and check out the "Read the emails" section to start with,if you hate getting spam email,i think you'll love this...and then maybe buy his book,its a cracking read!
So i think thats it for now,new work up soon,i have a couple of painted pieces nearly done,and as i say,some new sculpting on the go
Love,Peace and Grease,
Ben x
