My #lego octopus for Brickworld Chicago 2025. Built with pretty much all my transparent clear brick and plate. LED lights for that glow in the dark experience. Pretty pleased with the results.

Posting something positive. A soothing mix of transparent parts fresh from lego shop at home.
It was also soothing to sort them all into single color batches, but I'm weird like that

Been working on lego micropolis stuff for a collab. Enhanced a shoreline module on a whim... I think it turned out pretty fun.

Working on a new project and hit a "I knew better but I did it anyway" snag. Don't try to brick bend reddish brown. It only ends in tears. And a pile of shattered brick.

Finished upgrading my Dropout Game Changer LEGO diorama. Sam Reich and Mike Trapp in a new character style I'm working on. New logo build and voice bubble improve on what I had at Brickworld Chicago earlier this year. These will be at the Middleton Library next month as part of the #WisLUG display

Doing some repairs on builds from Brickworld. Still debating the merits of motorizing Li'l Mothman's wings. His eyes still light up, though.

imagine dying and you come to to anubis weighing your heart to see if you’re worthy of the afterlife. it’s all going well until that dog-headed mf says “ah you agreed to the chick fil a terms of service that said no gods above christ” and drops your ass into the mouth of ammit, your existence erased

Hey @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social
I'm starting my reread of Southern Reach in prep for October, and I'm wanting to build a scene out of Lego to bring to conventions. What would you suggest as a creation you'd want to see? The lighthouse? Area x? (I'm leaning towards the tower)

My Gf and I made a LEGO Great Wheel for Brickworld Chicago. She spun on it all weekend. We captured the "Best Motion" trophy for it and a really gratifying amount of fan tokens.

This was extremely good. The black and white treatment really adds to the experience, I think.

The uncle who got me into comics passed away, and left me his collection of silver age earth-2 intros. I've only read these in collections before. To hold them in my hands is pretty emotional on several levels. Here's a few gems.

Commissioned art for @poisontart.bsky.social featuring Bill, Ted, and a friendly (no doubt historical) octopus. Circle K had no idea what was afoot this time around. Bill and Ted have been a huge part of our life together, and it just feels right to celebrate that with a
triumphant custom work.
