The Emperor's Children

Things have been quiet lately. Too many distractions in Utah. I wish I could say they were good but I can't. I moved half way across the country for a job that seemed worth it. 3 weeks later I was put on commission, exactly what I was doing at home but a much lower quality. I didn't come here to do middle of the road shit, not update my blog, be mocked my my boss, and prepare nothing for cool mini or any competitions. I quit blue table a week ago and although I just want to go home I've decided to start something up with the former CEO who was fired and given no reason.

 Why u mad bro? You might ask. Well I'm mad because after I quit I was thrown under the bus in front of the other employees. My first project there was to paint an infinity bootleg miniature that would be part of a giveaway when a feature on infinity, that was planned for a later date, was underway. The owner of Btp told the employees I took that from another project, painted it and wrote it on my time sheet without asking. Never mind I was given the piece by the project manager or that I told the owner what it was for and why I painted it during the meeting we bad the day the CEO was fired. I have been accused of stealing from the company but no one told me, I had to hear it second hand. You'd think I'd be accused of stealing if I actually did. I'd like to add the miniature remains at the studio. 

So what should I do? Start an honest company that is employer friendly and offers a quick turnaround time as well as a consistent quality? Ok, sure, good idea man. I think I will, the new site launches tomorrow and will be packed with pictures. I'm currently working on our first job when I'm not training other artists. Here are a few in progress shots I've snapped over the last few days :)







More to come, good things in the future. Don't compromise your happiness.

  2. Just say the same as GunGrave did ... sometimes you go two steps backwards in life, it's like that. But sometimes you run straight forward ... ups and downs ... take them as they come and stand your ground! Wish you the best!

  6. Wow, thanks guys. I don't want to seem come off as if I wish bad on BTP. It just wasn't working out and I know verbal mistakes were made. Rumors will do that. I'm going in tomorrow to get the rest of my things and clear up and misunderstandings. You've all conveyed some very true words though and I'm going to put my best boot into this ass!..Skye, I am in the provo area, currently I'm fumbling with infinity and some what accomplised with hordes. Getting a game in would be a welcome change of pace. I'm about 15 minutes from the dragons keep :)

  8. Good luck Sam! Seeing you paint some EC is making me sad though. Wish I had some money to have you paint some stuff for me and do my EC. Can't wait so see how they look though!
