<p>I had no painting experience until I shattered my heel last march while playing frisbee golf (a long story). After surgery, I was left unable to stand or walk for two months. I knew that if I just sat around watching TV and playing videogames I would feel miserable about myself, so I decided learning to paint minis would give me something positive to do. I'm very happy with the way Mortimer turned out and he's a lot of fun to play.</p>
