Transmission 25: Tiz Paints — Craft, Community, and the Art of Being Yourself

🎙️ TRANSMISSION 25: TIZ PAINTS — CRAFT, COMMUNITY, AND THE ART OF BEING YOURSELF

In this episode, Kim and Max sit down with the brilliant and endlessly inspiring Tiz (@tizpaints) to explore her decades-long journey through the hobby — from painting board-game minis with her grandad, to diving into Space Crusade and Necromunda, to working five years at *Games Workshop*, and finally into the world of *busts, large-scale pieces, and fine-art miniature painting*.



Tiz opens up about how she found her place in the hobby, the joy (and chaos) of D&D groups, and why small skirmish games and specialist systems are becoming so important today. She discusses her approach to painting busts, developing texture, mixing paints, and the freedom of moving beyond 28mm figures.



The conversation also dives deep into tools, brushes, accessibility in the hobby, chronic pain, staying true to your own pace, avoiding comparison, and the importance of making your hobby _yours_.


From Arrow brushes and Tesseract Minis, to mold-line tools, painting handles, and even paint markers — this episode is a treasure trove of practical insight and honest reflection.

Tiz also shares her upcoming goals, including competition pieces, her love for sculptors like Realms of Tiberium, and her next big challenge: exploring the beauty and complexity of painting the human form.



This transmission is heartfelt, hilarious, educational, and full of the purest creative energy.
