From the time my dad brought home a hand-me-down Commodore 64 from his brother who worked at Keytronics, I've been a gamer. When I was a kid, on the weekends, my parents used to rent a Nintendo console and games from good old Hastings. My dad is passed now, but I still get excited when I think of playing Condor and Total Recall with him! Ahhh, sweet gaming memories!

The way gaming looks has changed over the decades and become something completely unimaginable, but the way gaming feels remains the same: Thrilling, Powerful... dare I say Hopeful!? When you can take a break from this life and exist in an alternate realm that you've created - either by yourself or with an awesome group of friends whom are just as weird and wonderful as you are - its pure magic. And it is a hell of a lot of fun! Whether you are into tabletop gaming, role-playing, or setting up four computers all over your dining room so you and your friends can pull an all-nighter, gaming isn't just a hobby, its a lifestyle. It's part of us.

Several degrees and exhibitions later and I'm still a starving artist. The yearning to create something from all the swirling chaos that manifests from this life is sometimes so strong I ache for it. I am a painter, and I miss that craft. Being a parent, a worker and a wife takes up most of my time these days, and there aren't many moments left to play games or create art. The path that led me to be a 3d printer of game related art isn't too hard to see given my history. Through the blur of never being fully satisfied with what I went to school to do (which time?) and being too exhausted to do any of the creative, fun stuff that I so much love, 3d printing made total and absolute sense.

It is my top priority to bring you highly detailed, beautiful resin 3d prints in a timely fashion. I will continue to work diligently to bring you awesome miniatures and scatter terrain, but if you don't see what you are looking for then point me in the right direction and I will get it for you if I am able (most of the time I am :) - printablefantasies [!at] gmail.com

An organization dear to my heart is the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. A small portion of all sales will be donated to helping this organization save Africa's wildlife:
"Born from one family’s passion for Kenya and its wilderness, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was established more than 40 years ago and is best known for its Orphans' Project, the first and most successful elephant orphan rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. The Sheldrick Trust is a pioneering conservation organisation, dedicated to the protection of wildlife and the preservation of habitats in East Africa." (www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org)

I hope you enjoy my Etsy store. Moreover, I hope you find something that sparks that inner gamer's glow of yours!
