I’m a weirdo, I know, but my favorite ones are those with the skull and the skeletons. We have a skull sitting on our television, at least until our oldest daughter goes back to school. His name is Hamlet. He did a photo shoot with our daughter back in October. :)
Great job on your art work! I look forward to seeing what you do in 2017.

If you’re a weirdo than so am I. He’s very much my muse. I’m beginning work on another series in which he’ll have an appearance or two as well. Hamlet sounds like a wonderful family member ;)

Hamlet is great! I think he’s making sure no other spookies get in this room. So far, so good. haha
Being a weirdo is great and never boring. :) I look forward to seeing your new series. I think my favorite of your skeleton photos is the one with the flowers (9th picture down, assuming I counted right!). It is just beautiful. :)
Have a great night and a blessed day!

Thank you so very much. That was my favorite image of mine for awhile and still remains pretty high on the list. Silly too how that happens as it was such a simple shot, and for others I spend so much time building the set. Glad Hamlet is protecting you all ;)

Thank you. :)
I don’t think it is silly at all. Sometimes the things that are simple are truly the best, showing us that it doesn’t take a lot of fuss to create something wonderful. :)

Amazing photos. The way they are a bit shadowy and the figures arranged is really exceptional. I love the little skeleton, and the UFO ones are really cool. Thanks for sharing your passion for miniatures with us! :)

I really like the very first photo. It reminds me of Jacob’s Ladder from the Book of Genesis.

My favorite ones are the ones of the skeleton but the most favorite is the one of the elephant in the field. Love that one. I don’t really understand the stairs in the woods but I also like the ones at the end of the year with your Star Wars droids. Those are very cool.

Thank you. The stairs in the woods are illustrations of a popular story on the Subreddit nosleep. They’re creepy stories some of which involve finding in tact clean stairs right in the middle of the woods.

I really like the photos of your skeleton particularly the ones from March and April. My favourite one, though, is the last one in front of the mirror. I admire how you get depth of field.

Thank you. He has certainly been my muse this year and I have some more planned for him.
