I'm Brent — a senior software engineer and cloud architect who paints large-scale 3D printed figures in whatever time is left over.

My wife and son live with ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) — an invisible, largely unknown disease with no cure. Being their caregiver is woven into everything I do. It's also why I learned that you have to take care of yourself to keep showing up for others.

AI is part of my process — not to replace the craft, but to help organize the chaos. Color recipes, paint planning, knowing where to start. The painting is still mine.

Real painting. Real process. No performance.

If you're a hobbyist, a caregiver, or someone who just needs something that's yours — welcome.

New videos regularly. The backlog never ends. The printer always wins.
