Happy New Year!
Well, the bad news is that my posting didn’t become as regular as I’d hoped. The good news, is that it’s slowly getting better on that front. 2025 has been a very hectic year for me, but its showing signs of improvement. A few months back, I sold my beloved van and shipped my belongings from America to Germany. A whole life of stuff reduced to a single a pallet and half a ton.
January 2025
After noticing how rarely I updated this blog last year I told myself I would update it at least monthly this year. There’s still time to make that a true statement! (barely.)
Let’s start with a bit of a retrospective post then. 2024 was a pretty great one for me. I published my first book, sold my first audio rights, and got over 10,000 followers on Royal Road. Most importantly, though, I wrote a lot, and I mean, a LOT.

Wow, another year already, where does the time go? I think I neglect my blog because I because Patreon has taken up that role for me. I’m going to change that, though, and will commit to monthly posts, just so I can record things with a little more frequency. I do plan to update this blog someday, but for now I still have not found the time. Well, that’s false. I have not made the time. I’ve made time for plenty of other things, though.
I’m still in Germany. I got married last year, and in two weeks we will be celebrating our first anniversary. I won’t say it’s been the easiest year thanks to being in visa limbo and my wife’s health problems, but it has been a great one. One of the best years of my life, honestly.
(more…)Back From The Dead
Hello everyone. I haven’t been around for a long, long time. In fact, anyone that found this site recently probably thought it was dead. I suppose that it was true the last couple years.
First and foremost, before I talk about me or what I’ve been up to, I would like to thank Dirk and Antonia for carrying the torch for as long as they did. It was truly impressive, and a couple times while they were posting I was tempted to come back, but somehow life was always too busy, and at a certain point it just felt like their place, you know? But now that my life has a quiet moment, I thought I would come back and provide the occasional update.
It’s been almost 8 years since your last post David. Where have you been?
(more…)Busy, not gone.
Hello everyone! Just a short note from us 🙂
Sorry for being silent the last couple of weeks. We are all right, don’t worry. Dirk just started a new job and is busy adjusting and getting to know the place and I got a bit swamped by trying to have his back concerning everything else.
Your pictures still reached us and we try and paint too, as time allows it (so, not much) but right now I’m not sure when we’ll be able to take up the schedule again. Maybe we’ll just push everything into the future for two months?
Let’s use this as a chance to catch up, maybe you can even gain a head start and paint some of the future models?
We’ll post here as soon as we know how we’ll continue, check back from time to time or maybe subscribe, if you haven’t already, there should be a box on the right of this text where you can enter your email to get notified.
We hope you are safe and happy, see/read you soon!
