 Hi there, it's DJB and in this video I'm going to give you guys a little bit of a studio tour. It's interesting to see how people situate their workspace and you may find some interesting tools in here. This room is the spare bedroom in our house so my parents have graciously lended me this space and the bulk of my studio work resides at my desk and it's dark right now because it's evening but I do have a window up there that lets in natural light. I have this swivel chair that I usually have towels. I use these towels to hold my models while I paint. I have my trash can down there and my tripod usually resides here. It's how I film from that angle because I'm right-handed. I have to film from the left side. Down on the bottom I have my two Iwata airbrushes so I have the Iwata Eclipse and the Iwata Micron. They're on a quick release adapter so that I only need one airbrush hose. Then I have my airbrush cleaning pot. I have airbrush cleaner down there and I have my air compressor so that all kind of fits well on this computer stand for this desk and everything is connected to a power bar down there because I run a lot of electronic devices and then this box actually is really useful. I use this box as a painting lift so I prop the model up on this box so that I'm not hunching over so much and it just happens to be a horse box. Then I keep all of my Vallejo paints in my custom Micron box. I have one cup that contains random supplies so I have some random knives, toothbrushes, my silicone paintbrush, an X-Acto knife, so just different tools that are random. In another container I have really crappy cheap dollar store brushes and I use these for epoxy, smoothing it out so I just buy really crappy cheap ones that are easy to throw away when they get too too bad. Then I have one jar that's just my silicone sculpting tools because these are my favorite. Then I just have a container of water because sometimes I need just normal water and I have a couple other paints here that don't really fit so we have some airbrush flow improver. I have my super glue here, all of my golden high flow acrylic paints. This is a masking fluid that I haven't actually tried yet and I keep some of my just cheap acrylic paints here. Then I have my giant stack of PanPastels oops and I've labeled them all so that they're really easy to use. Then I just have some other types of paints back here including my golden and Winsor and Newton and then I have a box of other random paints so some Joe Sanja, some other acrylics and then actually this contains all of my oil colors in the back. The light I'm using is a daylight and it's supposed to emulate the sun and make you feel not depressed. I went through a time in the city but now it's just my studio light because it actually works really well. It's really bright and it illuminates this whole room. Or this is a Lazy Susan and I actually got this at the Dollar Star, it was like $4 so I use that for airbrushing. Then I just have a thumbtack board full of reference images that I have flipped and pinned as well as some projects that I'm working on at the moment and I have a full color swatch of all of my Vallejo paint. I tucked away behind this paper are just some watercolor pencils. I have some fan brushes and just miscellaneous stuff, a pencil, so just like random stuff. I think my Sharpie's usually in there. Then I have some decent acrylic brushes that aren't great. Then I keep my makeup brushes separate for pastelling and I put my Winsor and Newton detail brushes in here as well just so that they're easy to find. And then I've started actually buying nicer paint brushes for acrylic and oil so these ones are just kind of the nicer ones and I also have that palette knife in there. A good old roll of paper towel and a good old roll of blue shop towels. And then I keep a jar of paint water and a jar of epoxy water. I keep them separate because epoxy builds up like residue in the bottom and then paint is normal so you definitely want to keep those waters separate so that you don't get weird build up and I keep a separate paper towel for both things as well. Then I have my containers of epoxy sculpt and my two little containers of magic sculpt and I have a notepad just for jotting down thing color codes or video ideas I have. Of course everybody needs chapstick in their studio and then I have my Bose speaker because I generally listen to music or podcasts or videos while I'm painting and then this always just lives here this is just my needed eraser it chills on the side of my desk it's always there I always know that it's there. Then this pulls out and I have a few more supplies I have some like fancy pastels I have a pink pastel that I bought specifically for pinking. I have my pencil sharpener sharpener and sheenings. Then these are all my good clean paint palettes I just use like cottage cheese, sour cream, butter, lids so that way I can have a lot of them. I have some of these micro fuzz brushes here and some nail teas as well as just normal q-tips and these kind of half pointy q-tips. Then I have my trusty bin and this can look like a nightmare but it's actually pretty organized. I keep most of my major stuff in this one so I have some wires I have scissors, pliers, bondo, tape, these are my glass pieces. My baking soda that you guys have seen me use a lot of times my cern relief. I have a hacksaw in here some dead bits a toothbrush for dusting toothpicks so it's like all the things that like I generally find myself using quite a bit and then I actually have this container which is really awesome it holds all of my special stuff so like little things. I have my awada lube in there I have some mini magnets I actually have some little horseshoes so just general stuff but mostly airbrush repair and little spare parts and that's really good to have in the little containers so that you don't lose anything. So this looks like mayhem but like it's all stuff that I use pretty frequently. Then this one is the sandpaper one so I have like one of these fancy cutting mats in there and then I just keep little bits of sandpaper in this so like when they're still good to use but they're they've been used they go there I have some extra sheets here and some extra paper plates for painting in here I just have some extra gloves and tin foil socks for buffing things for holding the models towels that I can use to hold them and I have some of these cheapy respirator masks so and then in the very bottom this is generally the bigger stuff so my heat gun does live in here usually so anything like large I can just throw in here so I have a hot glue gun a hair dryer and some manuals just some black bags so there really isn't much in there. Then tucked away on the side I do have some extra sandpaper sheets as well as this cutting board thing that works really well for putting things on to prime sometimes and then I have a box for my paint palettes that are ready to be cleaned. Then I have this green stool and this works good I put my vise on it so that I can saw horses there instead of over there and it's a nice little place to kind of put my models on and take pictures of them with that wood background and then this is all is literally the biggest box ever and it's all full of bubble wrap I save a lot of it because I feel like I need to. Underneath there is my Dremel box and I have some Dremel bits that live over here these are the ones that I use the most and then I have like the whole kit and everything with extra over there on a little stool and this little side table is where I do most of my Dremel work and my heat gun is here as well as my Dremel it's like it's on a stand and then it has a flex shaft and that works really well and then I have my newer ring light which illuminates there and I can move that around I usually move it over to the main desk when I'm painting I have all my live show pony poaches there these two bins are actually full of briar stuff so they're genuinely full of like my childhood briar things so like blankets and hay and there's a wood barn in one of them so they're kind of they're just here in the house I don't really know why and I do have my live show bag back there as well as a vacuum to vacuum everything this is just another little table I have set up just good to have another workstation somewhere to put things and I have a little tray that I like to use to carry things if I want to like work outside or work upstairs and so I have my filters here my gloves my safety glasses and my respirator just hanging out another power bar my second camera battery always going and I have a space heater because it gets pretty cold down here so I generally have it like facing me while I paint and on this side I do have another chair that's just in here in the light and this is my double stacked bed this is my parents guest bed and then the bed that I brought with me from the city and then I have my amazing art easel this art easel is my favorite this is a $200 easel the box was damaged it was for sale at the store for $15 I love it over here is the great studio supply shelving I have recycling here because I save the environment so I just have some more towels and paint stuff because this is a combination of model horse stuff and just general art stuff I do a lot of painting so I have an actual like painting sheet and that's actually what I've put behind my whole studio is a whole paint sheet so that the paint can't get everywhere and they're really good they're waxy on one side and then kind of absorbent cotton on the other side so that they work really well then I have some boxes of stuff I believe there's acrylic paint in one don't know what's in that and then my Iwata airbrush things just extra little bits so they don't go missing and I have a couple project horses just hanging out here one with no head and then in these boxes this box is all my spares so this is a thing of extra everything extra q-tips extra clay dremel parts q-tips popsicle sticks like anything I can think of it's just extra stuff that I buy so that I have backups so I can just use backups and not have to go to the store I've started sculpting things so I chopped heads and tails off now and I'm keeping them and eventually I'll probably sell them and then these lids to my containers that will eventually be recycled and I have some extra tinfoil here I have my rubber gloves and some just white paper that's good to have on hand so this is my commission horse that's waiting for paint have a couple little stalemates that were in the works and my aero medallion and my aero medallion's artist proofs as well as these plexiglass rods these are my beauty blender artist sponges I have those in a box I have yet to try those fully and then this is just a bin of my silicone casts and some medallions that I have sculpted it's kind of like a project box up here is my most common area for work in progress so we have a hamilton up there otheo kroy and my long bean fjord as well as this moody mare that's in the progress and then I have this shelf which is slightly smaller and it's for my you know little little things that are happening here I keep my camera equipment so I have my camera lenses as well as my camera bag I have this fan I have some wood bases that I may use one day and my huge things of magic sculpt that I bought this is like a base thing all of my primer and sealers my problem is I have like a couple different kinds of primer and sealer I've switched so I have a lot of old ones I need to list them on like Facebook and sell them to someone local when I open them I write open on the lids or I just take the lids completely off and that's how I know that the thing is in use so that I don't use them all and they all go bad then I have this shelf which contains my big art brushes for large-scale painting I have two things of isopropyl alcohol one is 91% and one is 70% I have some gesso I have some gal kit this is all my oil painting stuff so oil painting things and my oil painting cleaning jar and these are for little containers for my isopropyl alcohol while I use it these are all my stable mate bodies I keep quite a few on hand some are in progress I don't know it's like a buffet of whatever I'm feeling I have a medallion in here I have this marabella that never got to anything I have some soli choices in here just like random projects down here I have my mold making stuff so a huge thing of airbrush cleaner back there my easy off for stripping and my ease release for mold making I have some containers some garbage bags for things I have my monster clay here a medallion I was working on and a thing of lego for mold making and then my mold making box just contains my silicone and resin a lighter some topical sticks plexiglass cups different things so everything for molding and casting and then this is just the buffet of literally everything else so I have a binder of reference images I have cups and stuff and an extra roll of paper towel and then some like older acrylic paints so like I said it's kind of a jumble of like just artsy things in general and like back here I do have all of my like canvases and there's some actual finished finished paintings in there wrapped in plastic an old drawing of mine different things and then we have the body box it's just a buffet of different things I can work on that's pretty much it I like to keep all my things in one place I like to keep backups of things and it's good to have an area like when I'm finished painting or when things are drying it's easy to put them here the studio space itself is good because there's actually a door to outside in my basement as well it's easy for me to go outside to spray things I'll be very excited when I can have a big room with like desk that goes all the way around and I can keep everything contained but for right now it's okay and hopefully you got some insight into what I have in my studio and how I make it work it's been over two years now so this is a collection of things that you slowly grow and organize and you find what works for you what products you use what products you don't use it's very hard to move houses when you live like this so thank you so much for watching and happy customizing
