Painting Desk Makeover

So I thought a makeover was in order to get the paint juices flowing once again. A lot of work went into the shelves above the desk, but I also overhauled the desk itself. I emptied it out, cleared it off, and put only about half the stuff back in it and on it.

The results? Well the paint slump is finally over; I've painted five figs so far*, started three other ones**, and have a nice and tidy (and drastically reduced) queue*** as well. More of this to come soon. Until then, enjoy!

*post due
**another post due
***yup, I'll do a post on this too

    A clean up often helps, if only so you can see stuff. looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labour

      Thanks Ian. I've got five completed 15mm sci-fi guys and three Infinity aliens about 75% done. More in the pipeline behind those.

    Just in time for your reaper order. I had an experience down at my grandparents house recently that has totally changed my organization drive myself.

      Ugh, don't remind me about Reaper! I hope your experience wasn't a bad one, but these inspirations come at us from all over, unexpectedly.

    Looks good. My desk is an uncivilized mishmash in my basement.

      Thanks Padré Spanky. I think most painting desks out there are in the same shape as yours!

    A clean up works for me every time. Whenever I'm feeling lethargic or uninspired that means it's time!

      Absolutely right Millsy, which was the trick in this case too!

    Beautiful to see! Meanwhile I'm trying to invent a way to get my whole painting kit into a suitcase.

      Dude, a special agent style suitcase paint kit would be awesome. Aluminum case, pop out brush and cup holders, the works...

      I don't know. Not being the most prolific of painters may help keep down the clutter? Nah, probably not!
