Bartolomeo is my favorite One Piece cameo character so far and it’s not even close.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Oh HEY! I’m back! Do you like #artstreams? How about #minipainting? Tune in and yap with me today. See ya over at www.twitch.tv/jamiedaggers #stream #miniatures #boardgames

we're all thinking it

I’ve been toying around with the idea of starting a Substack to document best practices that I’ve developed over the past 5 years as a freelance artist, streamer, and game dev. This would include con tips, networking secrets, etc. Anyone have any thoughts/tips? #minipainting #freelance #indie

I also do a lot of reading while I paint (idk what I’d do without the Libby app and local libraries tbh) here’s what I’ve been listening to while I’ve been painting! The Starving Saints - @caitlinstarling.com The Devils - @joeabercrombie.com Children of Time - @aptshadow.bsky.social #books #art

Here’s a little roundup of some painting I did in October! (Check alt text for details) A few little festive projects and a small selection of autumnal knights to help celebrate the roaring success of Greathelm by @malev-da-shinobi.bsky.social #minipainting #miniatures #gamedesign #indiegames

Ok I promise I won’t forget about Bluesky again for months. I’m alive and kicking! Lyctor is in playtesting, I’m rules editing a ton for my publisher, and painting as much as I can between the holiday and con travel! Luckily for me, things stay quiet til the new year! Updates soooon :)

I'm painting this SCARY mini from Black Site Studios RIGHT NOW on Twitch, YT, and TikTok! And I've upgraded it to a @daggers.tv four color challenge! Come thru! www.twitch.tv/princemolder

Something a little different tonight for #WIPWednesday Tester for the Leagues of Votann Combat Patrol magazine, and using @daggers.tv four colour palette challenge from a couple of weeks ago #WarhammerCommunity #WIPWarhammer #Daggers4Color

Today on stream I painted my first Iron Sultanate model! Ninj0n gave me a few of his color cards at NOVA and instead of a 4 color Friday, we took a stab at 5! I’m VERY lost in the @trenchcrusade.bsky.social sauce rn and couldn’t be happier. #trenchcrusade #minipainting #nerdlings #artstream

It’s good to have ambition, but it’s better to have follow-through.

Very excited rn because the manuscript for Lyctor is being submitted this week right before I spend all weekend demoing it at NOVA Open! #indiegames #indiedesign #gamedesign #skirmishgame #tabletopgame #miniatures #minipainting

Wednesday is statistically the most boring workday. Lucky for you, I’m streaming! Do something more exciting like watching paint dry with me! Painting a bust for NOVA Open! Come join the fun 🥰 www.twitch.tv/jamiedaggers #stream #minipainting #miniaturepainting #miniatures #warhammer

Hey help me feel better during this con crud battle by sharing some art you’ve done lately that you’re proud of. Show me what you got. Toot that horn— let’s see it, hot stuff! I’ll start by sharing this silly little dude I drew at the @catchycantrips.bsky.social live show at #gencon #art

Con crud is the worst! Boooo con crud! At least I’ll be freely anti-bodied for my next con in like 2 weeks I guess 😅

Gencon was a blast, and went in a blur!! My classes were well attended, got great feedback, and galvanized me towards painting something for NOVA at the end of the month! But first, I have to beat this con crud. Wish me luck, babies. #concrud #gencon #minipainting #tabletopgames

✨Plz share for visibility!✨ If you’re going to GenCon, consider taking one of my mini painting classes! There are still tickets left for all sessions! Learn the secrets of glazing, or try my signature 4 color/easy color scheme class! bit.ly/daggersclass #minipainting #miniaturepainting
