Status update

(The Tyrant from the game Chronicles of Hate -- 
just to show everyone I'm indeed still painting :)
Hello to all my patient, patient followers. Just a quick update: Yes, I'm still painting minis, in fact, I've painted more in the past 6 weeks than I have in the past full year! Part of that is because I lost my job after 17 years at the newspaper. And while it was a little bittersweet, I've moved on to my next endeavor as a freelance illustrator! 

I've already done work for Hydra Miniatures (doing the back covers of the War Rocket and Retro Raygun rulebooks), and I'm doing ongoing work for Test of Honour (2nd edition) by Grey for Now Games. I also have a few pieces in the scenario book for Space Cadets Away Missions (many of which you can find in this blog long before the art was published.)

As part of going freelance, I've created a website where you can view example pieces of art and request illustrations. Check it out, pass the word and share the link! And yes, I will still try to update this blog, too, at least more so than I have in the past few years (I still need to set up a mini photo studio).

Here's that link: https://cccerra.wixsite.com/illustration
I hope you enjoy the art!

One more -- the Um'Gra tribe from Hate:

    Shame on your paper for letting you go - their loss I feel certain. Lovely minis as usual and I checked out your art website - truly beautiful work and with such varied styles. All the best for getting plenty of commissions.

    Sorry to hear that the paper let you go. The very slow demise of newspapers is really tragic, and worrying.

    On the plus side, good to see you are still working away on miniatures!
