Sometimes a projects needs more attention to detail than others. If you're looking to build a prop or learn a "how to" technique, check out some of the tricks of the trade or just follow along on some of my project I'm working on.

• Drawing n' painting – Some good insights in the mind of Dan. Some are just drawings of the day and others are multi-media creations.

• Tech-NI-Ques n' Styles - Gives you a up close and personal experience unlike film or TV you get to walk through the artwork and feel the moment.

• Props n' Stuff – Once you know the final outcome or the look that you're trying to accomplish, how do I get there? It's about asking yourself questions? What materials do I use? Where do I find them? What technique do I use, etc. There's more ways to build a Prop. See some of the projects I worked on, ranging from full scale to miniatures.

• Miniatures n' Model-making – All about scales and details. If it is for a background set for a movie or a 1/6 scale interior for a Stop Motion Animation project or just a diorama, learn how to break down to process in byte size chunks.

• Wood Craft – Woodworking is one of my favorite thing to do. It teaches technique of the build, it applies safety using your tools and it shows you satisfaction once you apply the last coat of finish and step back and see what you just accomplished.
