Crafter - Build Dioramas for a New Museum in Singapore
This is a limited term position (ends February 2026).
Pay: 70k
We are building dioramas for a new museum, The Imaginariad, opening soon in Singapore.
There is a commission component, but only if the dioramas are finished under budget.
Painter - Put in the Time, Reap the Rewards
Starting Pay: 45k
Miniature painting is like playing a violinist in an orchestra.
Talent is important, but what we really need is for you to commit to practice, practice practice.
Miniature painting is as much physical as mental.
It can take 2-3 years to to become a mature painter.
Breaks, of even just a week, especially during the first year, will decondition you, like an athlete who stopped training and ate pizza everyday for a week.
However, if you commit, you will make it:
Painter Salary Ranges
Painters are paid commission for every dollar of painting they finish.
Under $1,500 output - trainee pay (starts at 45k, declines as commission is added on, instead)
$1,500 output - 66,250/- . You can take a year to hit this. It depends how hard you push.
$2000 output - 95,000/- . Try to hit this within 2 years.
$3000 output - 152,500-. Difficult. Try to hit this within 3 years.
$4000 output - 210,00/-. Very difficult, but some painters with 5+ years experience are hitting this.
If you work hard, are disciplined, and art feels like a reason to live, you will succeed and go to the top.
