270hrs. 54 days. 42 miniatures. phew! I need a nap!

And that’s a wrap! What a fun box, and finally I’ve painted an entire box set! Goal achieved! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

Ok just need to base these city folk and their cat and city of ash is done!! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

Still unemployed & it’s been hard catching up with finances. In need of help with rent, bills, & medications. If you can help financially or share this post, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.💛 - paypal.me/conniechiiiwa - venmo.com/u/conniechii... - buymeacoffee.com/conniechiiiwa

Getting there! Love these too so so much!! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

jamesmathias.com/words/interv... Been on my mind lately. Love you!

Great progress on the last 2 models from City of Ash! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

I guess I'm an economist now. there is no goose, it is a factory. eggs do not lay eggs, and neither does the factory. in fact the "value" is ALL THE PEOPLE running the factory. AI is either making us dumber, or it's amplifying how all the people in power already were faking it the whole time.

Calling this one done, 2 to go! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

ok does anyone else have a website they designed 19 years ago for a client that is legit still using the design as you implemented it? I was going through old work and found one that is still live and active. It's like finding a ruby in your laundry.

I keep seeing the tech industry regressing, in design spaces I’m seeing a lot of emphasis on designing “happy” and “golden” paths. So much of what UX is lives outside of that. Design IS the edges. You gotta anticipate struggle not the other way around.

Solid progress on the forgepriest tonight! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

raise a generation of workers. shame 'em to believe if you didn't earn it, you shouldn't get it. gaslight them that wealth is just around the corner, as long as they work hard enough, never define enough. something about bootstraps. pull the rug, point, and laugh.

just a little fyi, if you might be hiring for a research guided, human centered design leader, I'm just sitting right here, waiting for some product org to have a vision beyond the current AI hype cycle. We can design a better way of working and delivering a quality, user-centered product.

The idea that if there are two opposing viewpoints there must be middle ground is a category error.

Solid progress for one session with the forgepriest. Saving Jorvan and Thexa for last. #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

Ok I guess that means everyone agrees and these takes are ice cold. Updating belief system…

Monday hot takes. All colors are brown. Coding is storing and manipulating arrays. Everything is a gradient.

Ok gallants all done, except basing. Next up we’ll do the heroes and city of ash will be complete! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

I’m a live and let live kinda dude. So long as it’s not hurting anyone. And I may just be too tired and stressed right now. But, I think I need to draw the line at hobby horsing.

Three shield bearing gallants done-ish. Banner and champ to go. #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

My apologies. I will never agree to sacrifice even a single human’s “baseline comfort” to cool the sci-fiction delusions of money-hoarding monsters. We should be doing mental health checks on these motherfuckers. The psychosis is psychosing.

Coming along well!! I love these models so much! #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

So you know I'm going through something emotional currently and writing is helping me process, will you help me by reading this? jamesmathias.com/words/on-age...

June 19, 1865, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 ordering the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” #Juneteenth

It is Juneteenth. I feel it is pretty important to remind everyone that the Juneteenth flag colors are Red, White and Blue ON PURPOSE. The corporate marketing that uses only African Freedom and Pan-African Liberation colors feels like erasure. So let's talk about Black African diaspora flags 🧵1/8

Worked on the leather and copper bits so I can better gauge the overall brightness for the steel armor. #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

jamesmathias.com/words/buildi... I've been thinking a little too much lately.

jamesmathias.com/why added a page to my website to help folks understand why I would be a good fit for their team, you know aside from the obvious stuff.

I want to be a Dorothy, but if I'm being fully honest with myself... I'm a Blanche.

pro-life people: "you can't kill an innocent life!" same pro-life people: "sorry your baby died, but you shouldn't have stolen diapers..." there is NO crime that is punishable by death in the street. suspicion should NOT be a death sentence. rest in peace Kohen Wiley we failed you.

Lots of armor so I only got the mids blocked in. But happy how it’s already coming together. #miniaturepainting #wip #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar #warhammer

jamesmathias.com/words/harmfu... I guess I have opinions on stuff now too.

heads up. if we follow each other. I am YOUR friend. I will help you if and when you need anything. if you follow me, and you are in trouble and need help I will do everything in my power to help. if you don't follow me and need help. let me know, I will still try. no exceptions or expectations.

Worked just on the heads and shields tonight. #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #warhammer #warhammerpainting #spearhead #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar

and did I grown up into someone that you like ... but would we have been friends, if we were born at the same time? maybe in another life. - John & Lydia / Medium Build. FUCK. That is... I gotta lay down.

Did I spend almost all my time rendering wood on the back of shields you won’t see once glued back together? Yes, also did some cloth and face shading. #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #warhammer #warhammerpainting #spearhead #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar

only took 3 versions of my portfolio to nail it, but I think I finally got my personal logo checked off the list!

Base coats done, on to layers and details! 5 models is a must better batch size! #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #warhammer #warhammerpainting #spearhead #citiesofsigmar #ageofsigmar

Sharing this musical goodness 😍 #DepecheMode

Not much progress tonight, but got everything undercoated and the armor plates base coated. #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #warhammer #warhammerpainting #spearhead #citiesofsigmar #ageofsigmar

I can't wait for the next generation to take over.

there is no scarcity, only hoarding.

I am exhausted. nice to meet you exhausted, I'm also exhausted. #dadjokes

Decided to try my hand at bust painting. Got a ways to go but like the skin so far. #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #miniaturebust

Finished the grenadiers, and started the base coats on the gallants #miniaturepainting #warhammer #warhammerpainting #hobby #wip #spearhead #citiesofsigmar #ageofsigmar

Just saw an anti AI message that was created with AI. I’m not even mad, just impressed.

if your PR person steps in mid-interview to get you to stop talking about your AI use... maybe you actually do understand why it's not a popular choice?
