Hi, I’m Mike Cousins
I’ve been painting miniatures and teaching others since 2007, and designing miniatures since 2009.
You may know me from my YouTube videos, or from tutorials I used to produce with MiniWarGaming – or maybe you’re just learning about me for the first time. Regardless of whether you’ve been a fan for years, or just stumbled across my website today, here’s what you need to know about me:
I love a well-painted miniature.
Painting minis is a passion of mine, and I love to share that passion. That’s why I like teaching other people how to improve their painting. I want tabletop gamers to be able to take pride in their miniatures!
I enjoy teaching others.
Nearly as soon as I began painting myself, other people began asking me to show them how. I’ve taken that to heart for over a decade now, producing tutorials, teaching classes, and performing live demonstrations. I’m always learning and improving myself, and it’s a genuine joy to be able to pass the things I learn onto other paints.
I Stream. A lot.
Every weekday I stream my entire workday live on Twitch, where I try to balance my focus between commission work and personal projects. The latter are often where I push myself to experiment and try new things. It’s a great time to hang out with other hobbyists, and ask those burning hobby questions.
Everything I do on YouTube and Twitch is freely available, thanks to the support of my fans at Patreon.com and my Twitch subscribers.
