So life continued to be a roller coaster after my last post with the techmarine. The new year brought with it an avalanche of work in my professional life which didn’t help my hobby slump one bit.

It’s a new year and as is customary for all minipainters on Instagram I hopped on the yearly bandwagon and made a collage post showing some of best pieces I did in 2021.
