I believe that a long walk and a calm conversation is an incredible
combination if you want to build a bridge to a successful relationship.
Architecture is a way of translating dreams into the real world.

Hope builds his House
The way Hope builds his House
It is not with a sill --
Nor Rafter -- has that Edifice
But only Pinnacle --
Abode in as supreme
This superficies
As if it were of Ledges smit
Or mortised with the Laws --
Emily Dickinson
So for anyone who hasn't heard yet MELO 2017 is happening at the end of this month! :D
I'm pretty excited because I wasn't able to enter any of the previous Middle Earth Lego Olympics. So I decided I would do a bit of practice and make a really small little build. Might make some more at some point before the contest.
Part of the reason I made this was to try getting better at building, so if any of you want I'm looking for comments about what I could improve and what I did well. (Not just "Nice build" comments).
I'm also curious to know who else is entering MELO this year? :)
This is a trend apparently and I figured why not?
But yeesh, I gotta build more! This is more or less a collection of everything I've built for the past year, specifically the things I think are worth showing again. Largely, this is my Forms of Gotham collection, which has rather put me off building brick figures for a while honestly...all that said, the experience of building them and seeing people's reactions towards them at Brickworld Chicago were worth all the tens of hours I spend on them.
And All the Powers of Hell was another highlight, although to be honest it did fall to the back of my mind--despite winning the Vignette award I've been hunting for years. Still, it has a place in my heart and as such is still constructed and boxed away for BW '17. Aside from the figures Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin, its the only thing that remains of my '16 Convention tour builds.
My Alien and Predators builds are something I'm proud of, even though they totally point out how I can change focus on a dime whenever anyone mentions Predators or posts a Xenomorph. To wit, I've been secretly hive building for the past half year; building another queen, gathering eggs, makin' drones, hunting down those elusive black minifigure binoculars, all for the inevitable time when I'll need them. At the moment I'm planning on building Alien something for BW '17, although that might just be the amazing Covenant trailer speaking! So no promises yet!
Before I get into the future, I first want to note the wonderful experiences I had this year with my friends at Eurobricks, both online and especially in person, as we constructed our group collab for Brickworld, Ready Set Escargot!. We put tons of hours into a truly collaborative effort and finally getting the win was icing on the cake. As we look forward to next year's build, I hope that we can continue that awesome tradition! Incidentally, I don't have any pictures of my Snail, but I made the sand blue viking one, if anyone is wondering.

Onto the future, one of the reasons I've not appeared to be building much (specifically in the later half) of 2016, is because I'm building for 2017! Right now I'm finishing some colorful magazine builds, but I've also locked down my convention layout concept for next year, one that'll use a lot of colors I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll-- yellow, red, and orange. Brick figures will be minimal, at least until 2018, and I'm also planning two separate series of builds of the superhero variety. Either way, I can't wait to get started!
And finally, thank you to everyone for your support!
Photographing landscapes around sunrise and sunset is often filled with anticipation. Wondering whether the light will be "epic" or will you get skunked.
Join me in Palouse June 13-16 and we'll chase light and find scenes like this! Link: jimpatterson.photo/palouse

View of Cebu city from the SM Seaside mall. I didn't notice all the cranes on top of the buildings until I started processing the photo.
It's finished. I seem to have forgotten to order the blue 6x6 dish that will go on those studs on the top, but otherwise it's all done bar the stickers. Sorry these photos are crap, but I don't know when I will get to take decent ones.
Une interprétation photographique de la chanson de Maxime Leforestier « Comme un arbre dans la ville «
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Je suis né dans le béton
Coincé entre deux maisons
Sans abri sans domicile
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J’ai grandi loin des futaies
Où mes frères des forêts
Ont fondé une famille
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Entre béton et bitume
Pour pousser je me débats
Mais mes branches volent bas
Si près des autos qui fument
Entre béton et bitume
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J’ai la fumée des usines
Pour prison, et mes racines
On les recouvre de grilles
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Comme un arbre dans la ville
J’ai des chansons sur mes feuilles
Qui s’envoleront sous l’œil
De vos fenêtres serviles
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Entre béton et bitume
On m’arrachera des rues
Pour bâtir où j’ai vécu
Des parkings d’honneur posthume
Entre béton et bitume
Comme un arbre dans la ville
Ami, fais après ma mort
Barricades de mon corps
Et du feu de mes brindilles
Comme un arbre dans la ville

A photographic interpretation of Maxime Leforestier's song "Like a tree in the city"
Like a tree in the city
I was born in concrete
Stuck between two houses
Homeless homeless
Like a tree in the city
Like a tree in the city
I grew up far from the forest
Where my forest brothers
Founded a family
Like a tree in the city
Between concrete and bitumen
To push I struggle
But my branches fly low
So close to the cars that smoke
Between concrete and bitumen
Like a tree in the city
I have the smoke from the factories
For prison, and my roots
We cover them with gates
Like a tree in the city
Like a tree in the city
I have songs on my sheets
Which will fly away under the eye
From your servile windows
Like a tree in the city
Between concrete and bitumen
I will be torn from the streets
To build where I lived
Posthumous honor parking lots
Between concrete and bitumen
Like a tree in the city
Friend, do after my death
Barricades of my body
And the fire of my twigs
Like a tree in the city
