2019

On 06 Mar, 2019

It is 2019. January 1st marks fifteen years in business. Scoreboard: clocking in at over 8000 projects. I am about to turn fifty. My predominant feeling is one of accomplishment. I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot in life. I’ve had my adventures and many profound human experiences.

My other feeling is “what’s the point of that?”

When I saw my father dying, the cancer having spread to his bones, and I was given time alone with him to say goodbye, he grabbed my hand and he was trying to say something, but only his lips moved, like a skeleton burning in desert of agony. I could only thing “what’s the point of this?” Here was a man, admittedly a tragic hero, who had made his mistake but also soared to the heights of recovery and love. In his later years he was absorbed into a different family by his common law wife. They knew him as a different man, adored him. He was a different person. But it didn’t matter in the end. Just… suffering. Now it’s fifteen years later and I realize that his story doesn’t have to be my story. That was then. This is now.

In October 2014 my wife of twenty years and I went down to file our divorce papers. As we left walking back to the studio she was shaking with emotion. I had never seen her like that. Twenty years. “What was the point of that?” And it’s an endless cycle of this same thing.

Even the joys of life are repetitious.

Here are my highlights:
I grew up in Southern Oregon in the eighties, a magic place of forests and books. 1969-1987
I served a Mormon mission in Santiago, Chile. 1990-1992 (left the church in 2014)
I went to Southern Oregon University for six years. 1993-1999
I owned a game shop selling miniatures battles stuff. 1997-2000
I was an elementary school teacher (fourth grade) 1999-2003
I ran a company Blue Table Painting. 2004-2019+
I saw my five children born by two different mothers- 1999, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2016

It feels more like writing a book. What’s the point of writing a book? Maybe I’m on a cosmic reality show– mind-blanked and driving a meat puppet for the entertainment of my intergalactic subscribers.

Special for December- L3 painting half off

On 12 Dec, 2014

Here’s the deal you just can’t pass up.  In December we are doing L3 painting at half off.  That’s it, that simple.  Limited slots, so get it while it’s hot.

Contact projects@bluetablepainting.com with inquiries or to get a pricing sheet.

To get the special put “December L3” in your subject line.

That will make infantry $4-5 each typically.

 

Here are the caveats:

1) your order needs to be $1400 or more base (ie at half off if it’s all L3 you will pay $700),  NOTE: on that you would pay $350 down, so that gets you in the door!  Also, if your order is in the $800-1399 range for your L3 paint work then it’s still 40% off

2) This is only for new orders paid with money (not with credit),

3) not cumulative with any other offer or special,

4) your project has to have relatively simple instructions and a cohesive color scheme (so not fifty models all with a different color scheme, and five pages of instructions),

5) There are only a limited number of slots for this, so it might end before the end of December.

6) Details are subject to change and might get tweaked as the days go on.

BTP Ultimate DnD and Painting Fantasy Camp

On 10 Nov, 2014

“Paint your ass off all day. Adventure hard every night.”

BTP Painting fantasy camp is where you come out and live in a beautiful home for five days and come down the studio to rub shoulders with BTP artists. You will paint your stuff side by side with a veteran painter who will give you tips and guide you if you want.

You show up on day 0 (usually a Sunday) or day 1. I will pick you up at the airport if you need it. Or you can get a rental car (recommended). You will settle in at the BTP house for a good night’s sleep. You’ll need it because it’s going to be big week! We’ll go shopping and stock the pantry and fridge.

The usual stay is Monday through Friday.

The BTP house is a rental home, available to us through a business associate of the studio. It’s two stories with three bedrooms up top. One is a master with a private bath, and the other is common for the other two. Downstairs is the living area.

You can come to the studio every morning whenever you want. Depending on your schedule we will match you up with a veteran painter or two. You’ll have a table set up nearby and you’ll paint your own miniatures that you bring. We will show you the ropes, fill in what you want to learn, and/or help you up your painting game to the next level. You’ll be part of the regular flow of studio life: hanging out with the guys, playing some pickup games, going out to lunch, and of course a ton of painting, assembly, and conversions.

You will have access to our bitz wall. That’s a lot of bitz. As long as it’s not unusual stuff you can just stuff handfuls in your pockets.

If you want, you can have up to two games with staff of your choice. I can’t guarantee that a certain staffer will be available or willing, but we’ll do what we can. And of course pickup games. If you want, you can have at least one published Batrep on our Youtube channel.

Plug your product! If you have something that you make or do, you can make arrangements ahead of time to get us to put it on the Youtube channel. This could mean some really good exposure for your stuff. This isn’t a guaranteed aspect. It has to be discussed beforehand.

I will be at the BTP house with you (and a friend and maybe some others). I am happy to drive you to and from the studio. It’s only five minutes away. It’s walking distance (thirteen blocks) or a bike ride.

Optional Items:
1) If you want I can mentor you. That’s exercises for your brain aimed at upping self-perception and looking at things a new way.
2) I go to work out almost every day. http://www.provo.org/community/recreation-center
3) We will provide you a BTP paint kit with sixty paints (+$170) and in a hardwood box (+$60)
4) You will have the same discount as BTP staff while you are here– basically access to our wholesale accounts
5) You can interview as a BTP artist (this is done on the last day) Maybe you’ll get a job here.

D&D
I’ll be your DM.

S2WhitePlumeMountain

Now, if you want you can add this to your experience. I will run you and a few other guests (up to four) through a D&D adventure. With this upgrade you get a custom miniature of your character (you only need to pick and supply your base miniature, we do the conversions, basework and painting).

The other people might be people you know or maybe other guests.

I will run four sessions each 3-5 hours each. This is pure miniatures and terrain. The full talent and resources of the BTP studio are behind this adventure– terrainscapes, dungeon tiles and of course a TON of painted miniatures. Stuff that will make you say WOW when it hits the table.

D&D is held at the BTP house and/or the studio. Wherever feels best.

Let’s pick a module and get some characters rolled up!

Costs
Three day stay Artist package $450
Five day stay Artist package $750
Five day stay with D&D added on top $950

Bring a friend! For a pair (friend or couple) to share a room and save $50 EACH!
Book a month or more ahead of time and get another $50 off!

Dates
I can adjust the dates to suit a particular individual or group.

M-F January 5-9
M-F January 26-30
M-F February 2-6

Other stuff
Utah is quite beautiful in winter. There are a ton of other things to do, including some world-class skiing.
