Todays painters

[Nicholas Ball]

Personnally, I think that any period of figure is still of interest, as we all have our own preferences, but more importantantly,  the subject needs to be well engraved

you can make a well engraved figure look excellent, but you can't make a poor figure look good. Although in my case I have trouble making anything look good!!!! It certainly goes through a bad patch !!!!

I don't mind fantasy if it's done well and the subjects are interesting, but I'm not keen on the Manga or semi clothed women.

What is fantasy anyway, medival clothing worn by little green men from Mars

Are we living in the past? at the recent shows I've noticed that a host of fantasy figures in competition and on club stands, I am talking flats. So where is the future of the flat figure, do we need to explore the modern side of "fashion" to try and get the flat noticed, the photo bellow is not a flat as some would define, but boy! would that make a great figures if cast in tin and made available.
What do you think ?
