Really, the defining characteristic of a Minion is their ability to be blown off a catwalk at a moment’s notice. And so, one of the more elaborate (and often used) purpose-built props I made for “Minions at Work” was a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I haven’t got a lot to say about this one. It’s not a fully realized Naughtyless set. It lacks all the cool steampunk embellishments that I eventually collected (and continue to add to for future use. But I love how[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s been a sad couple of days. The world seems to be going to hell, and though I’m powerless to do anything about it, I feel helpless and discouraged about humanity. But then I read a scientific report that, all-in-all,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
