I still haven’t figured out how to add multiple images to a post, so below is a link to my year in review. All of the builds are in ascending order as well. We’ll see what 2026 has in store for me. I honestly thought I made more this year. Granted there were a handful of builds I did that weren’t significant to me, and did not make the cut.

You're quite welcome! You're not wrong about how I just "snap" parts in place. Most of the time when I get a vision in my mind I try my best to translate it in LEGO. I can visualize myself seeing the build in factual reality and that brings life to the concept. Basically I enjoy having a plethora of parts to rifle through and see what I can conjure up. Sometimes I get ideas that I think would be stellar that I tear up because I'm amazed that I was able to pontificate such a grand idea. I enjoy showing off what is possible if you don't "color in the lines." I am not quite sure what triggered my abstract build style, but it can be quite exhausting and rewarding at the same time. I just enjoy adding detail as much as possible and I don't let "what's practical" hold me back. I look back on prior builds and I think when I finally started the first iteration of the apocalyptic scraps in 2019, I pretty much dove off of the deep end. 2005-2014 were my dark ages, but it was Lego Digital Designer that reintroduced me to LEGO. I spent days in LDD, during college and Minecraft's inception. Then Stud.Io came out and there was much more I could do, and it took a bit to master, but it's second nature now. At the end of the day, I use LEGO to zone out and create "art" with lore. I always use to write poems, draw, and create short stories, so I guess my past is finally reaching up to me? I think what also blows people away is that I stream my builds on Twitch and that my builds are modular. There's always the downside of being creative... it's building a concept when you're suppose to be sleeping or working.

Absolutely stunning artwork. Thanks for sharing your photos! These would work as great props in my Call of Cthulhu game..

Oh it's just an RPG campaign we're running. The sculptures you're making resemble horrors of the incomprehensible. Love them!
