July 23rd, 2010: Added a Bargain Game Mat page. We sometimes get game mats that are slightly less than perfect, or have customers change their order after we have alreday produced their custome game mats.
For example: On July 22nd, we accidently made a European Fields game mat with 1.5 inch hexes that was 45x71 inches in length, rather than the standard 45x72 inches in length. Other than the length, this is a perfect game mat.

The condition of the game mat is listed, but in most cases, the imperfections are very minor. Go to: Bargain Game Mat Page.



July 20th, 2010: Hotz Mats: Pave Felt Highways: 25mm (1/64th) scale Pave Felt Highways system are now available from Imperial Hobbies in Richmond (No.3 Highway), British Columbia, Canada! I just received notification that the road packages have been placed onto the terrain shelf on Saturday. Go to: Imperial Hobbies (not sure if the road systems will be listed).
NOTE: Imperial Hobbies also sells a range of our game mats and will place special orders with us for their customers. If you cannot find a particular mat we produce, Imperial Hobbies will order it in for you.



July 6th, 2010 : Hotz Mats: Since we have been getting numerous requests for our custom made 48 x 48 Inch game mat this year, we decided to make this game mat a standard Hotz Mat product and place it onto our product page. For more information, go to: The 48 x 48 Inch Game Mat.



June 10th, 2010 : Hotz Mats: Pave Felt Highways: 25mm (1/64th) scale Pave Felt Highways system are now available! This road system is also playable with 20mm and 28mm miniatures. Go to: Paved Felt Highways.



June 4th, 2010 : Hotz Mats: Pave Felt Highways: 20mm (1/64th) scale Pave Felt Highways system. After almost three years, on and off, of work, we are almost ready to release our road system. We will be releasing the system on June 10, 2010. For more information, go to: Paved Felt Highways.



June 2, 2010 : New Hex Size. We have added a new hex size to our product line: 1.75 inch hexes! These hexes are compatible with several games on the market place including the Heroscape tile system. The 1.75 inch hex grid can be added to any game mat were currently produce, with the exception of the gladiator arena game mat. This is just one of several new products we are currently working on. More will be released soon.



May 29, 2010 : New Hotz Mats Products! Over the last 12 months we have been working on seven new products releases, which may be a bit ambitious on our part. The first two releases will be announced within the next 10 days. The first release was suppose to happen two weeks ago, but the shop that produces our print screens made a major error and had to redo all their work. I will be picking up this new print screen on Monday, June 1st (fingers crossed; I hope they did not mess it up again).



May 29, 2010 : New customer photos added. Added four images to the Sea Blue-Grey Gallery. Andrew Watkins' Space Godzilla vs MOGERA game on Sea Blue-Grey Felt Mat with 3 Inch Hexes. To view the images, Click Here



April 3, 2010 : New customer photos added. Added three images to the Sea Blue Gallery. Rod Cain sent us photos of his WWII Midway Naval Battle game. To view the images, Click Here



October 18th, 2008 : Hotz ArtWorks has moved to our New Studio. Despite the heavy rain, we managed to move all our equipment over to our new studio and are finishing with the setting up. Our new studio is twice the size of our previous studio, so this should go a long way to help with our production. We have new equipment on order, and this should arrive and be set up later this week. In the mean time, we are back to production. The only problem encountered was with our Internet connection, which was only connected late Thursday (Oct 16th).



May 31st, 2009 : Deep Space Game Mats: Since we created the Deep Space game mat, over three years ago, we have had a number of customers send us emails exclaiming that Red Nebulas are impossible as there are no gases in space that can reproduce this color. Yesterday, we were sent a photo taken from the Hubble Telescope showing a Red Nebula (NGC 2237: The Rosette Nebula) that looks strikingly similar to our regular Deep Space game mat. It turns our we were right -- who needs Hubble?
