You think I ain't worth a dollar but I feel like a millionaire... (part 2)

There are some days where you only get madness and worldwide mayhem and some where you get to read in a published magasine that someone loves you... well who appreciates what you do at least...


Saturday was one of the latter when I learnt that Conrad Kinch had written some very kind words about this very blog in his article about the Oldhammer movement in Miniature Wargames Magazine #381 :

Not only did Conrad wrote : "A painting blog written by the ever inventive Jean Baptiste. Definitely check out his beautifully sculpted Chicken Knight. A man who manages to combine Highlander and Warhammer 40K is alright in my book."

But he also managed to come up with a description of the oldhammer no member would deny and that alone is to be praised !

Go and check out his blog JOY AND FORGETFULNESS if you're not already following it, his talent for writing and his fine humour should keep you well entertained. I'm more than happy to share this honour with fellow bloggers I immensely respect so that's added bonus.

I'd want to say this changes nothing but I've already started adding spinners on my bike's wheels, I've put the music level one step up on the stereo and I'm not even talking to my cats anymore... probably should get back painting...

All of this just to say Thank You.

      Euroldhammer for the WIN !
      What I like best about all this blogging is that not only has it lead me to paint and to like doing it but it got me to do so along some very fine people. (that includes you).

      Absolutely. Manly cheek-kissing FTW!

      The community element of the blogging side of things was not one that I really banked on, although happily it has worked out that way. There is definitely a sociology paper in there somewhere.

      C'est un peu biaisé car j'ai peint une figurine pour le gars qyu a rédigé l'article et je pense qu'un tas d'autres blogs auraient pu y figurer mais ne boudons pas notre plaisir.

      Merci à toi !

      Well, after a few days of worldwide fame and success, I just can't stand it anymore. I've taken the spinners out of the bike and decided to apologise to my cats. I have to get back in the "real" world, The world of stardom is ot for me so I'll just keep on painting and leave all the glitter behind...

      Oh and by the way, the first attempt at making Perry dwarf chocolate was an utter failure...
