"To behave creatively in art means behaviour with skill. And skill comes from discipline, not derangement." -Burne Hogarth
I would like to thank the world's, no, the galaxy's greatest mold maker, master caster, CAD designer and all around swell peach of a guy, Jeff Rodman of Fortress Figures for providing space for this
mess. Rumor has it he is updating the Fortress Figures store, so buy some stuff!
Recommended viewing: Empires - The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance (2004)."From a small Italian community in 15th-century Florence, the Medici family would rise to rule Europe in many ways. Using charm, patronage, skill, duplicity and ruthlessness, they would amass unparalleled wealth and unprecedented power. They would also ignite the most important cultural and artistic revolution in Western history--the European Renaissance. But the forces of change the Medici helped unleash would one day topple their ordered world. An epic drama played out in the courts, cathedrals and palaces of Europe, this series is both the tale of one family's powerful ambition and of Europe's tortured struggle to emerge from the ravages of the dark ages." This series gives a great basic history of Renaissance art and politics in under 4 hours.
