Behind the Madness

Ryan Smith: San Antonio, TX, United States; I'm a painter, sculptor, home brewer, and father of two. I love miniature painting, throwing dice, drinking beer, and combining the first three. I started painting miniatures in 2001, and spent three years figuring out how to do it well, leading up to my first award winning army in 2009. Since then, I have produced one award winning Warhammer army a year, usually with the help of fermented grain. I also co-host a podcast called The Beer Phase.
