MASTER OF MINIS CLASS BY LELAND ERICKSON VIEW HIS WORK LELAND ERICKSON FROM "RECYCLING WITH A VENGEANCE" MEET THE INSTRUCTOR Leland Erickson brings a lifetime of artistry, teaching, and craftsmanship to the table — and the brush. A retired professor with lifetime of experience in his passion, Leland has guided students through the world of education in various studies. He was a Henley Putnam University professor for his demonstrated expertise in military history. A true craftsman at heart, Leland blends salvaged parts with a passion for creative experimentation. With a substantial knowledge in the origins of disruptive camouflage painting and an arsenal of war-time design in history, his art in war minis has an edge in hyperrealism and creativity! His miniature work draws on a vast toolkit of methods — airbrushing, glazing, layering, non-metallic metal (NMM) effects, weathering, and basing — resulting in pieces that look like they’ve leapt off the screen of a cinematic fantasy or sci-fi epic. He has a lifetime of study in military history combined with nearly a half century of accumulated practical experience and knowledge of figure painting and model building. In his Miniature Painting Classes at Purple Dragon Games, Leland offers accessible, inspiring instruction for painters of all experience levels. Whether you’re picking up your first brush or refining advanced techniques, you’ll find his sessions to be equal parts educational and energizing. Students praise his patient teaching style, deep technical insight, and ability to make every project feel like a work of art. Leland’s philosophy is simple: every miniature has a story to tell — and the right brush in the right hand can make it come alive. Join him to discover how to turn small figures into mighty works of imagination and skill, guided by a teacher who paints not only with color, but with wisdom. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Unleash your creativity and bring your tabletop worlds to life! In this hands-on course, retired professor and master painter Leland Erickson guides students through the art and science of miniature painting — from basic techniques to advanced effects that make every detail shine. Learn to layer, blend, highlight, and weather your models with professional precision while discovering how to tell a story through color and texture. Perfect for beginners and seasoned hobbyists alike! You will learn the superpower of making anything a miniature which is Leland's mastery in "Recycling With a Vengeance".

In this post, you will discover what the inside of our building looked like when we began work in November Sapphire Snail Jan 9 3 min read Transforming History: The Journey of The Old Newspaper Building into a Community Creative Space The Old Newspaper Building at 309 S. Broadway Street in Yreka holds more than 6,800 square feet of space and a rich history tied to the town’s past. In October 2025, Purple Dragon Games purchased this landmark with a clear vision: to turn it into a vibrant creative hub for gamers, artists, and the local community. This article explores the exciting transformation underway, the challenges faced, and the opportunities this project offers for everyone passionate about games and cretaceousisle Jan 9 3 min read PURPLE DRAGON GAMES BOUGHT THE OLD NEWSPAPER BUILDING OCT 2025 Purple Dragon Games first opened its doors July 2024 at 306 S. Broadway St, Yreka. Its main focus is a free place to hangout out and play games that sells cards and games and minor snacks to accommodate all-day gaming. At Purple Dragon Games you could rent a D&D room, use open tables to play any TCG or board game-- or even just sip a soda and watch tv. On the side we had a thriving retail section with comics, action figures, video games, RPG books, miniatures, paints and small novelties (pins, keychains, lanyards, etc). By 2025, the store had massive growing pains and was often standing room only with busy nights and epic rolls! It was blessed with the opportunity to finally expand for more tables, gatherings and events by moving into the "Old Newspaper Building" at 309 S. Broadway St! The building was in bad shape and came with a forklift that didn't work and dozens of paper rolls that weighed about one ton each.
