"Why are you running, Howie?"
The dingy smoke from Donovan's cheap cigarettes was cast aglow in the single lightsource in the claustrophobic little room and drifted around his chiseled face, though he artfully kept his eyes in the dark. I remained silent, my wrists instinctively struggling against the duck tape that bound them to the back of the rickety little chair.
"You're not guilty, are you?"
My throat, longing for the familiar swish of whiskey much like my hand longed for the ivory grip of my 1911, felt like dust. I broke my silence.
"I've - cough - I've told you morons a thousand times. No. I'm not guilty. You've got the wrong guy. It's Thibaudet and his goons-"
"Then why are you running?"
"I can't tell you that right now."
I could tell Donovan was angry, angrier than I'd ever seen him. I wasn't scared of him, but Donovan was a big guy, and had at least 20 pounds on me. In case of a fight, he'd squish me like he just squished the embers of his odorous little cigarette on the dirt floor.
"Let's try a different tack, Howard. The money is behind the painting of Mr. Swenson, isn't it?"
"Damn straight it is. That painting is now on the back of a truck bound straight for Cuba. Stolen yesterday: the 6th of May, 1938. It's gone, Donovan. You follow it, they'll kill you."
Donovan slammed his fist down on the table in front of me, rattling the tire iron which was obviously there for reasons I didn't want to think about, at least not yet. "You thought you were being clever, didn't you!?" he yelled in my ear. "The phone number of your accomplices was a fake. There are no accomplices, are there!? You're alone in this robbery! It's all fake! FAKE!"
"DAMN you, Donovan!! I had to do it. They said they'd kill Lottie if I didn't. I can't let that happen."
I bit my lip, resuscitating the little pain that had first been so graciously given by my interrogator in an alleyway a few hours before. I winced. Donovan, furious and at a loss for words, resorted to taunts like so many bullies do.
"You live alone, and lead a sad life. Why the hell am I even talking with you? What do you have for me? You're just a dumb private eye, and not a very good one at that. How about if you just give up now, and we can take you calmly down to the police station?"
"Why not the kennel, you odious bulldog," I replied, knowing I'd pay but giggling because I couldn't help running my mouth. Donovan stared at me with his beady little eyes and exhaled in a desperate attempt to remain calm, running his hand over his five o'clock shadow.
"No? Wise guy, huh? I thought so. We'll get to the bottom of this. Mark my words, shitbird."
He then socked me across the jaw in a swing that gave me painful reminders about the Great War. I toppled over, bringing the chair with me and hitting my head on the floor. One of my left molars now rattled around in my mouth, the empty cavity throbbing. Blood oozed out of my mouth, through my teeth and into the dirt. The taste was as familiar as whiskey.
I sneered through the pain as Donovan prepared to have another go: but he wouldn't be expecting me.
Playtime was over.
Yes, I got extras.

I have to admit I've got a bit carried away with this. After all I have yet to build quite a lot... but the picture turned out quite all right and the cape seems to work. It will be the first time I use a non-Tente element in one of my models but I think its use it justified as no block combination would yield such results.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Boredom.

Los bloques básicos, según la nomenclatura original, se identifican por el total de tetones que tienen. Así en esta figura, veríamos los bloques de 4, 6, 8 y 16. Personalmente creo que es un poco innecesario al no tener otros tamaños. Si dijéramos que son bloques de 2, 3, 4 y 8, no habría problema para identificarlos.
Can you guess how I did this one?

Classic TMNT Mega Bloks Sets. Very different experience than Lego.. end results are cool though! #technodrome
Tente is no strange to colour change. It came when Borras started producing new pieces. Gray is darker and more bluish. There also seems to be differences between pieces of Exin. Here you can see a lot of variation, that I kind of like.
Stan: “Dude, this city is weak. Like what the hell is that thing over there?”
Cartman: “Kenny, go get it!”
So I DL’d #OpenToonz and am excited to try my hand at 2D animation, my next tedious hobby!

I found this battered old caravan when I was out cycling, just outside Billund, Denmark. The door was open, but it didn't look particularly inviting...
That face totally looks like, uh... nobody.

It's kind of cool how they printed torso details, isn't it?

Advertising campaign for Santander featuring over one hundred bespoke objects designed and created with Santander 'red bricks'. The comprehensive campaign covered print, online, in branch and outdoor media including wrapping Euston underground station in red brick wall panels.
Because of the greyness of it all the controls didn't stand out a lot. Light gray was too light so I used the metal chassis of Micro cars and hubcaps,which are usually chromed but also exist in this not-so-shiny version. The controls are not very accurate but I think the general idea is there.
