Dear Bruddhas,
As you all know I have been very sick for the last 8 months. If you follow my personal timeline you have seen that I am slowly coming back.
If you don't know what happened, here's the short version: I collapsed on Xmas eve 2015 from exhaustion followed by a severe and deep depression. With the help of many doctors and shrinks, I was finally able to 'beat' my depression (if there is such a thing) three weeks ago.
Physically, I am somewhat a wreck still, but I am recovering quickly.
A life-changing event occured on August 1st when I met my now to-be-wife. The last time we saw each other was about 37 years ago - and knew each other from Kindergarden :) We are very happy.
We will be back - Painting Buddha will be back - it will be the same, yet different. In the coming weeks we will tell you exactly when and how.
If anything, Painting Buddha - as much as I - have some very high moral and ethical values. And it is no coincidence that YOU are a fan/follower of us.
I am painfully aware that my disappearing caused disappointment and concern - please believe me that my condition was the only reason why you did not hear from me. As a matter of fact, the thought of disappointing you made things worse for me for a long, long time.
Painting Buddha will be back - and we will take care of every one of you. The plans that we have set in motion will show you how much we care about our miniature community.
Please be patient a few more days, we will begin to explain everything at the beginning of September.
I have no words to tell you how thankful I am for your support. Painting Buddha means the world to me. And you are my world.
Thank you.

As you probably have guessed by my recent absence, 2016 so far has been a pretty disastrous year for me.
As many of you know I have gotten very seriously ill and the last time I tried coming back from the dead didn't quite work out as planned - after an awesome week with Jack and Alfonso in the studio my body once again shut down on me - this time even worse than before.
It will take me a few weeks, possibly months, to fully recover - but right now most symptoms are under control to a point where I will now hopefully be able to come back for good.
I need to apologize to so many people - first and foremost to my friends & family who I had worried for the last couple of weeks. Secondly, of course, I need to apologize to our Painting Buddha fans and supporters for not being able to create new content or even respond to messages in a timely fashion.
The next couple of weeks will be challenging to say the least and I will have to cut down on my previously insane working habits quite a bit - but that will probably be a good thing ;)
There's much more I'd like to say at this point, but I'll have to get used to pace myself. Good news is: next videos will be up tomorrow. Finally.
Thank you all for your support & patience!
After five long days and nights, the main filming with Banshee is completed and tomorrow we will go for some 'extra' content.
Today we finalized the face on Nutsplanet's Medieval Knight - and it's nothing short of breathtaking!
Banshee is sketching the night away at the Painting Buddha HQ.
You're all in for a treat!

Banshee & Painting Buddha are preparing a "sketchy" session for u guys..

Alfonso was last seen entering my forbidden closet of mystery.
Moans of "Oh" and "Ah" and "Puta Madre" have been heard.
Posing with mint boxes of Space Dwarves and Imperial Space marines - priceless. :D
One of the people on this picture has just landed in Berlin last night for a week of filming with Painting Buddha.
Hint: It's not the blue alien (although that would be very cool).

En conversaciones con el gran Carlos Diez y su conocida Academia C10... hay feeling. ;)

Hello everyone!
As you all know Painting Buddha experienced an unscheduled down-time since Christmas.
The reason for this down-time was me basically 'collapsing' from utter exhaustion. This was a very worrying experience for me, followed by a long time of medical treatments and recovery. Unfortunately, my condition was serious enough to require me to take some time off from pretty much everything.
I want to apologize for my resulting absence and my lack of ability to respond to messages in a satisfying manner.
The good news is that as of today we are officially 'back' - and I say 'we' as Jack Crowe has landed back in Berlin as well, following a quick vacation at home.
It will take me a day or two to get through all of your messages and to take care of the open orders - so please bare with me for a few more days.
We're back. And 2016 is going to be awesome, even if it started a little late ;)
Thank you for your patience and your support!

I want to take the time to thank a very special lady for her support:
My mom. She just sent me a message: "Your latest video doesn't say 'POWERED BY PATREON' on your page, is this correct?'
She is right, I forgot to mention it! So here it is: Painting Buddha is POWERED BY PATREON: www.patreon.com/paintingbuddha.
Thank you mom!

A quick update to everyone who has sent me an email in the last 10 days: Since we shared our 'announcement' video I have received over 1500 personal emails - and with editing and sending out orders I simply cannot answer them in a timely fashion!
If you need to contact me urgently, please send me a message on facebook: facebook.com/president.beeblebrox.
Right now I get emails in faster than I can process them :D I will continue to answer emails as fast as I can, but please allow me a week or two - it's simply too much :D
Having said that, I would like to thank all of you for offering your help with Painting Buddha for the future - as this seems to be the central theme of your emails. We really appreciate - and accept your offers! :D
Good morning everyone! Grab your coffees and share & enjoy part 5 of our Horus Heresy Ultramarine series: The Chainsword!
And yes, there is some GLORIOUS TMM gold in this one :D

It is Monday and after a very emotional week, Ben and I would like to say THANK YOU for the incredible support and encouragement we have received in the last couple of days.
We have received over 1000 personal messages and emails (it is going to take me a while to answer all of them :D)
It is amazing to see that we reach people and places all around the world that three years ago were but a dream for us.
Painting Buddha has come a long way and still has a pretty rough road ahead, but it is good to know that we are not walking it alone!
Once again, thank YOU all for your support!
