What's up summer?

Hey fellow followers of the ways of awesomeness,

I can't believe the time has passed so quickly! I am so lame! I really want to be a better friend to your eye sockets with my awesomeness, I mean it..... I just seem to suffer from bad luck from time to time. Any of you who are old school and follow me, or have followed me, or whatever sounds less creepy, will know that my life is full of amazing things, and also challenges. I joke that it's the "Artist curse" to be a little crazy.... but it's true, and it totally sucks. 

But like any storm, I weather it, and will continue to try and entertain and inspire! I found this poem (ya,ya.. so I like poetry)  to fit quite nicely to how I've been feeling lately, so I thought I'd share....

"Each minute bursts in the burning room,

The great globe reels in the solar fire,

Spinning the trivial and unique away.

(How all things flash! How all things flare!)

What am I now that I was then?

May memory restore again and again

The smallest color of the smallest day:

Time is the school in which we learn,

Time is the fire in which we burn."

"Calmly We Walk Through This April's Day" in " In Dreams Begin Responsibilities (1938)"

By

 Delmore Schwartz

Ahhh the drama of artists right? To know us is to love us I guess.....

Checking in

Hey all,

Sorry I have not been keeping up with this better. Your good buddy saw has been down with the crud, then my camera equipment broke, i'm chomping at the bit to post new pics and a tutorial I have been working on. Also it looks like they want me back at "Feast of blades" again, so i'm excited for that!

Just wanted to say hi, and let you all know I didn't forget about you :)

Keep building,

S

Happy Veterans day!

To all my brothers and sisters who have served down range..... here's to you!

Please take a moment to look at the site I have linked below.



Respectfully,

Trench extension

Hey all, 

Here are some pictures of my Infinity extension board I did for Mr. Adam stout. It's a 3' wide, by 4' long piece of eye candy I just had to share with you all. It's a Teseum mine, container yard, with a 90' (scale) overhead traveling crane. I also incorporated a dice tower, and a rail system, to link up with mine pieces; if the need ever comes up. The containers themselves were made by a very talented paper artist by the name of Tommygun. (Sadly, at the time of this post, his website looks to be down, so I linked to his Warseer forum pages. Look for his link to his website on the bottom of his posts).

 Thank you again for your generosity Tommygun, as this wouldn't look the same without your models!

As I am a knuckle head, with a severe case of technical bad luck, I was not able to get any production shots of the finished board. Adam being the fine human being that he is, brought the board down to demo it, at feast of blades and Rob from Spikey bits, was there and snapped some shots. A big thank you to Rob, and Adam for hooking a brother up, thanks guys!

Thanks again to Adam for his patronage, Infinity for putting out a great game, and Rob for getting me the pics, as well as all of you who are writing in, and complementing my work, or just checking it out... Thanks! 

Keep building,

Hail to art in all it's forms

I'm sitting in my hotel room, wiped out from 2 days of pure heaven. I have immersed myself in my hobby, one of my loves; and my favorite art form..... Yes you guessed it terrain. Not only terrain though, but I've been talking miniatures, fine scale modeling, painting techniques, art in many forms, as well as seeing business sharing ideas and innovative products like the Grex airbrush line (drool,…. it’s so cool) or the guy’s (and gal) from blue table painting, who are not only super cool and talented beyond belief, but absolute painting machines (like 12 straight hours, I think). Also I have to give mad props from my old media days to the guys from 40K nation working hard running a professional web streaming show, doing  interviews,  live blog celebs Q and A’s, as well as all the final games for this amazing  tournament (and that’s just what I've seen when I could peek in). I know that’s hard work, and their just so cool.

 I have been honored to talk with gamers from across the country, hobby enthusiast, curious hotel staff and guests, as well as artists of such an amazing caliber; I'm humbled by their inclusion of me in the community. To everyone I have talked with, it has been a sincere pleasure, for all the compliments, a humble thank you, to all the familiar faces I am getting to know, your loyalty shows the very best that people can be; and for all the support..... There is not a word I know that can encompass, or explain how much it means to me!

See you all at the show tomorrow!

And i'm back...

I'm so sorry I have been absent for so long, your good buddy saw had some serious technical issues. Fear not though, as I'm back and twice as crazy... here's some good news on the horizon:

I'm going to be starting a website to sell handmade terrain, Saw accessories, and a bunch of other stuff for your war gaming fix!

I have been putting a website together and will be sharing more about that in the coming weeks. if you would like to see some of my stuff in person, I will be at "Feast of Blades" happening at the end of October (26 - 28th) 

 

Red Lion Hotel Denver Central 4040 Quebec Street, Denver, CO 80216

 

 

Hope to see you there!

 

Stay tuned for more exciting info as it happens

The trench that Adam paid for

Hey all Saw here with some new goodness for your eye sockets. This was a commission for a fellow named Adam, and I have to say I like the way it turned out. It is a dessert style trench board with lots of tight corners, for super close combat. It is for a game system called infinity, but is scaled to play with any 28mm game system ;But enough of my babbles, here's the pics....

I am happy to present to you "SS-107"

Ah yes, the last one has your truly messing with something. Once again I need to thank Adam for his patronage and faith in me as an artist to complete this project. Thank you also to all the folks who have been giving me comments and emails, it is both flattering and humbling to have so many people interested in my work..... Thanks!

Osama Bin Laden is Dead!!!

Wow!!!

You caused so much pain, you got what you deserved, I just wish I could have been the one to pull the trigger... Hope you enjoy your table by the fire!

Drive on

So my art stuff is blowing up & I have not been keeping up with you; I have been really backing up, on all my updates for my cyber life... I'm sorry. I Just completed a fantastic build, and will post pics as soon as I can take some decent shots. It's a city fight board that I really had fun tricking out. Here is a link to a set of pics from my gaming group I belong to: http://www.meetup.com/Warhammer-Denver/photos/1321089/ I also have some more paintings I need to put into deviant art. Look for me to start writing a tutorial for a huge build I will be doing over the summer (ya, ya I know I need to write more, I get it, you miss me....) Thank you to all my readers, my supporters, and my fans. Without your help, your job$, and your just being good people, I feel I'm getting better. I have grown exponentially as an artist through all this turmoil over the past 2 years, and am glad to finally be able to take a breath. I hope this doesn't effect my art.....lol just kidding, or am I? Stay sexy world, S

Forever 39

Old spice, German music and beer, your same old clothes, Jack Benny and all your old radio programs, spreadsheets, your love of movies and building things.....these things I miss about you. I had a beer for you today, Happy birthday.

I miss you,

Happy New Year!

Hello all,

Sorry it has been so long since I checked in with you, I have been busy painting! I have a new show opening this Friday. I will get you more info as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who has given me support through these hard times since the passing of my Dad, it means more to me, then you could ever know. It's still really hard, and I will always miss him, but with supporters like you, it makes it so much better....Thank you.

Hang me on a wall

I'm very proud to announce that I will have 30 paintings on display for the month of November, down at McKinners pizza bar, located on beautiful main street in downtown Littleton.

I am both excited and nervous for this as it is a very intimate glimpse into my soul, but as an artist I do want to tell my story to the world.

If you can, I invite you down any time in November to see my stuff. Let me know what you think :)

Humbly yours,

S

The journey we take standing still

Life and death, good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark; it seems there is duality everywhere.

As I am dealing with a loss, I guess I am more hypersensitive to what I have. I am so thankful for everyone's support through this difficult time for me and mine. From the bottom of my heart...Thank you!

Through these hard times I have been creating some intense art. It seems that art really is pain, or through pain you can get some really deep work, another duality there. I invite you to take a look at my deviant art page to see some for yourself.

We are all striving for balance.

I will keep up the good fight, and try to continually keep you guessing on my crazy life and where it is going. You can get RSS updates when I post a new entry, by clicking the button on the bottom of my page. Also if you would like to contact me, my email is on the side.

As always I remain your humble Servant,

Tonight a good man died

He was a friend, a mentor, an inspiration, and the toughest guy I knew...

Goodbye Dad.

Storm Front

It seems in life like there are times when we are tested. It seems that this is the case right now for just about all my close friends. I painted this for you to remember that storms always pass. I believe the greater the person, the greater the storm, but that is what makes you all so special.

Hang in there!

"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore."

Vincent Van Gogh

Humbly yours,

S

I feel you bro...

I miss you Lost.

OMG I'm Back

Wow.....





Let me just say having a virus on your computer is totally lame! I was hit with a whopper, but fear not, your intrepid artistic adventurer Saw, is back. Stupid Virus!

Sorry about this pic, I needed to post it online for something, and I guess you all have to pay..... my bad!

Any who, talk at you soon, and stay away from the free porn...... trust me!

S

I know, I'm lame....

I totally know it, sorry....

I'm not dead, and I haven't quit, thanks for the emails & concern. I'm working on a super duper top secret project, that I have to have finished by next weekend. After that I will have a TON of pics! Also be looking for stickers & t shirts....Coming soon!

In the mean time, I invite you to look over some of the stuff I have posted in the past, you know get back in touch with your earlier Saw madness. See where it started, where it grew into awkward puberty and it's voice cracked, the emergence of the ugly punk rock butterfly that became the current Mothra known as Saw. Along the way you can play a little game I like to call, make fun of Saw's grammar. Oh well, we can't have it all.

Ya, ya....stalling, I know, but hang in there, your going to like what you see!

Your ever faithful,

S

here you go

Hello minions,

Sorry I have not been posting, I have been neck deep in alligators, and that's not fun! Since I really have nothing of interest today to share, I thought I would share something I found that made me giggle.... enjoy!
