My first Brick Rodeo is in the books! It was a crazy good convention. If I was closer to it, I would go every year. It was so well organized, the website was top notch, the volunteers were great, and the swag bags were unbelievable! The crowd was great, and I had a lot of fun interactions with them. I also crossed 2 things off of my AFOL bucket list: winning the award for my MOC category, and being interviewed by Beyond The Brick. It was just surreal! #lego @lego #moc #convention #brickrodeo2024 @brickrodeo @beyondthebricktv #legocommunity #afol #afolcommunity #marvel #legomarvel #spiderverse #spiderman #legospiderman #whatsupdanger

LEGO’s Galaxy Explorer is my pick for Best Set of 2022. It has a bunch of great building techniques, it is a very affordable price, and it’s swooshability is off the charts. I had to wait over 2 months to open my set, and it was worth every day that I waited! #lego @lego #legocommunity #afol #afolcommunity #legolife #legospace #beforeandafter #transition

Last July, I made the conscious decision to post daily LEGO content on Instagram. I’ve been asked by friends, “Do you make money doing this? If you’re not getting paid, then why do it? It seems like a lot of work for nothing.” Building LEGO, thinking about LEGO, talking about LEGO, making reels about LEGO—it truly is a passion of mine. I think if I wasn’t as passionate about it as I am, I would have given up months ago. It’s hard work trying to create unique, inspirational, and (hopefully) funny content. Sometimes I can spend hours, countless takes (one time, a reel took me over 100 takes to get just right)—all for the hope that the 10 seconds you watch left some kind of impact on you. I want to be an original in the LEGO community. Someone who contributes and puts their own unique stamp on the hobby. It can be absolutely draining trying to come up with an idea that stands out from all of the other LEGO content out there. It can even be depressing at times, wondering why what I thought was unique and different is struggling to get seen; while the other stuff that’s been done hundreds of times, the exact same way, is thriving. But, when it’s all said and done, I do this because I enjoy doing it. No, I don’t get paid. I’m not endorsed. I receive nothing from this other than getting to interact with all of you! That’s what it’s all about for me. I do it to inspire. I do it to make you laugh. I do it to make you cry (in the good way)—although, I’ve probably made some cry out of pain from watching, I’m sure 😂 If you’ve been watching my stuff for days, or months—no matter how long; and you haven’t reached out to me, feel free to comment in my reels, leave me a HEY in my posts. For those of you who have, please continue to! LEGO is such a fun hobby, and it’s a better experience when you do it with together with friends! I hope my passion for the hobby comes through in my content, and that it was worth your time! 🖖🏻 #lego @lego #contentcreator #legocommunity #afol #afolcommunity #legolife #thegrind #hobby #reels

Character building is so out of my wheelhouse. I’ve purposely left building Spot to last because it’s such a struggle for me. That kind of build style is so intimidating. I don’t know if you start building a character with the legs, but here I am, starting with Spot’s legs 😅 #lego @lego #moc #spiderman #spiderverse #wip

Spot’s hands are built, and so are the portals they are coming out of. Pretty happy with how they came out. The technique I used to attach them to the buildings was not how I originally envisioned, but the end result is super strong and reliable. #lego @lego #moc #spiderman #spiderverse #wip @brickworld

The cut-away rooftop is built, Mysterio’s drones are in place, and the glitched-out floor covering is installed! @lego #lego #moc #spiderman #spiderverse #wip @brickworld

Making some nice progress this week as another portion of my large Spider-Verse MOC comes together! #lego @lego @brickworld #spiderman #legospiderman #moc #wip

All of the filler brick/glitch has been built (including the floor covering all of the inner structure), all of Mysterio’s drones are set in place, and the roof is complete. It’s nice to see a part of this big MOC finished! @lego @brickworld #lego #moc #spiderman #legospiderman #spiderverse

The red filler bricks are gone, and they’ve been replaced with…brand new 🥴 pot holes… @lego #lego #moc #spiderman #legospiderman #wip

Such a tedious process, but it feels really good to get the base and portals of my Spider-Verse MOC completed. Doing my best to live in the moment, and admire what I’ve done—trying not to think about what I still have to do yet—a lot to do still! I wish @lego would put a groove on the bottoms of curved slopes—it can be such a pain trying to remove them! #lego #moc #spiderman #legospiderman #spiderverse

First try at placing Mysterio’s drones into a building. I was hoping by placing these that the “unfinishedness” of the filler brick side of the MOC would look intentional. What do you think? #lego @lego #spiderman #moc #spiderverse #wip

Mysterio’s army of drones are assembled and ready wreak havoc on the Spiderverse! #lego @lego #spiderman #moc #legospiderman #spiderverse @marvel
