I am so happy to introduce you one of my heroes in the miniature painting hobby, Alex. His amazing channel 52 Miniatures has inspired and helped thousands of people across the world. Also his book reviews are pretty great too!
Not only is he a hell of a miniature painter, he tells a wonderful story. In this episode, Alex takes us on an audio journey from epic first gig memories, his dads vinyl collection, what he listens to as he paints, karaoke across the globe, missed opportunities with Ed Sheehan, how a power cut lead to an unforgettable live show, plus much much more including one of the most beautiful answers to a question I think I have ever heard on any podcast I have done.
We hope you join us as we explore some of the albums and songs that have shaped his creative journey.
If you’re into painting, tabletop games, or just love learning about the intersection of art and passion, this is the episode for you!
