Additions to the Site, October 2025

Boxdioramas.com has been updated! Several new images have been added to the Various Artists & Newer Work page, including boxes seen at the Verko’s Vault Master’s Championship Show and the MMSI’s 50th Chicago Show, and new artists’ galleries have been created for Peter Gillson, a modeler who lives on the island of Guernsey, and Alberto Piacentini, who lives in Palermo, Sicily. (We love that modeling in general and box dioramas in particular are a worldwide pursuit!) New additions to existing artists’ gallery pages include the latest from Joan Biediger, Barry Biediger, Ed Schaefer, Ingvild Eiring, Gerard Joria, Nick Infield, Dave Browne, and Dennis Levy. On the vintage tip, you’ll find newly unearthed images of work by major influence Theodore Pitman on his gallery page, and videos of Eugène Leliepvre and fine artist Crista Grauer on the Feature Articles & Videos page, all coming to us from enthusiasts of the site. (We always welcome your suggestions for fun additions.) Finally, my latest box “A moulage sur Nature (A Casting from Life)” has been added to my own gallery page. Thanks as always for clicking around and sharing!—Jim DeRogatis, Oct. 27, 2025
