Fitting time in for building has been hard these days, but I get it in every once in a while. Just thought I’d say hi and show some of the stuff I’ve been up to lately. I apologize for the grainy pics which probably don’t represent the models fairly. But, better to share now than wait a few years to fit in time to learn some photography ;)

Living Together
This one is dedicated to my wife, Kristy. We recently celebrated 10 years together.

Contribution
This was an experiment in non-representational art. The idea was that each sphere contributes a part of itself in a unique, but ordered fashion. I was inspired by a book I read about Wassily Kandinsky.

Check Yourself
A self-portrait of sorts. The model is supposed to represent a long hard look at one’s self. I think I missed the mark on this one-- looks more like someone drinking from a water fountain. Perhaps I’ll rename it “What’s this mirror doing at the drinking fountain?”

Clock 1 and Clock 2
These always go over big when company comes over-- I don’t know why. The Sea Monkeys get a raised eyebrow while the clocks (which aren’t too imaginative) get cheers. The non-AFOL’s tastes are odd. I made two more smaller clocks in a similar SNOT manner and gave them to friends as Christmas gifts but never photographed them.

The Alpha Team Tiger Shark
Like some weirdo AFOL sailor, the sea beckons me and I have to build underwater sci-fi. I still try and catalogue all that is aquazone-ish so please let me know if I’ve missed anything.

And finally, The Sea Monkey Short Range Scout
My good friend, Joe Meno, took the Sea Monkeys under his wing while I was swamped at work. (Any buddy who’ll feed your fish while you’re away has to be a good friend). But, Joe appears to be swamped himself of late. So, I’m going to be taking the Sea Monkeys back and somehow revitalize their Aquarium. Any and all ideas/creations are welcome.
