First off, welcome back, Felix! You were missed by quite a few people. And I really like the new directions that you have taken with your work.

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

So who’s who:)?
  
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.

I had just spotted this on Brickshelf and though, “Only one person could do this...” And I was right. A very nice piece, and one that has that non-LEGO feel about it. I also see a little art deco in the repeating rings, but I think that’s just me.
  
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?”

Well, now that you said that I WILL think of a water fountain:) But I like the figure a lot. Non stud again, and it’s just cool to look at.

   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.

They like the clocks most likely because they can relate to the clocks, and they look sharp, IMO

   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.

Neato keen! I need t get back into that! A nice shape and nice detail work!
  
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.


I think the problem here is that I took the SMs under my wing when I should have used fins:) Thanks for coming back and taking over. I feel pretty good that the site will be managed by the creator of the SMs.

Again, welcome back!

Joe Meno .space paparazzi!
