My story about Kyle was originally printed in the November 2020 issue of The Walleye. It has been edited and reprinted here. When Kyle was 13 years old, he visited a friend who had a basement full of miniature hand-painted game figures. It was a moment of inspiration: “I don’tContinue Reading
Luc: 355
Is there even a point in writing about Luc? I’m going to say… no. Not really. This guy doesn’t need any help with publicity! He’s established himself as an incredibly talented and sought after artist in Thunder Bay. He certainly doesn’t need MY help. Having said that, the last timeContinue Reading
