It's a French takeover as we're joined by Thibaut Rahm, one of the new wave of miniature artists creating amazing work and storming the competition scene.
Thibaut RahmGuestBruceHostManusHostYeah.
I, I was just complaining to Bruce about 20, 25, 27, and you're like, "Ah, 35." Ah, Jesus.

I mean, it's a, it's a pain every, every summer for the last few years, but you, you have to deal with it, especially since now that GD is end of September, beginning of October.
Summer

That's basically the, the coolest part.
But as, as the, the, the days get hotter and the nights get longer and all that stuff, unless you're painting at like, I don't know, two, three, four in the morning, well, when is a good time to paint? And while most of us kind of have to if you wanna, wanna stay on the s- the circuit, do you just-- Do you do anything or, or do you plan different times or do you put, I don't know, put the wet palette in the freezer or [laughs]...
Mm
