A Fixture
Here is a post on behalf of Mike Blank:-
Dear painters, sculptors and above all, friends everywhere.
In this very turbulent, strange period of change we are all going through, the need for solidarity and help is needed more than ever.
Understanding, joy and inspiration is also much needed, especially for those living in locked down situations.
The bust is the wonderful "Germanic Warrior" from the talented hands of Raul Latorre, and very kindly donated by SK miniatures.
The photos here show some in progress photos of this bust.
We thought about doing this raffle in this way,
you send your name and country in an email to:
[email protected]
On sunday the 10th of may I will draw the winner from all those who have entered. One entry per household
(I will print the emails, fold them up, put them in a drum and draw the lucky winner!
Why a drum? Well, some of you guys may remember that yours truly played the drums for many, many years trying hard to be a rock star! And I still have the drums!)
The bust will be attached to a nice base, signed by yours truly and well packed for shipping.
More photos of the bust will be posted soon!
So my dear friends, stay healthy, keep safe, keep painting and good luck in the lottery!

After a conversation with my dear friend Steve Kirtley I thought I would like to contribute during this period, by adding, hopefully, some inspiration and help.
So I came up with the idea of me painting a bust as a raffle for all you guys.The bust is the wonderful "Germanic Warrior" from the talented hands of Raul Latorre, and very kindly donated by SK miniatures.
