I would love to have a gallery type web site. If I could All I would do
is showcase peoples work, I think painting is one of the major components
of the game, I personally have been painting for many years, and although
it sounds like I am tooting my own horn, I know I am one of the best,
certainly in Vancouver, the only reason because of this is because I know
that painting is a part of playing the game, and I spend a lot of time
doing it, I never rush anything (I just spent 3 hours painting an epic
weirdboy and 4 boyz). Yes it takes forever, and yes it is worth it, I
think if there was a website that showed work of all calibres, then maybe
more people would realise the importance of painting, even if you are a
novice, then a lot can be learnt too. Most people have GW pictures to go
from, which is one style, with little variety (I remember when it used to
be a mixed bag in 'eavy metal).
Sorry for tooting my own horn and dragging on a little....

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming. 
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it
