You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling - Eames, Inception
I like this photo the best out of my entire stream. <3 It makes me happy because it illustrates, really, a milestone in what I have been trying to achieve from the start.
Dreams, no matter how big, idealistic, or seemingly impossible, can always be followed.
I have so many dreams. Don't you?
Just because everyone says you can't do it, doesn't mean you can't. It means, you can, and you can do it better than them if you try.
Just because, you don't seem to be very good at what you want to do, doesn't mean you should give up. It means all you need to do is work harder.
Just because, no one else seems to agree that you should pursue your dream, doesn't mean you shouldn't. It's your choice.
Your dream is yours. No one else's. Cherish it, or it will fall apart. Our dreams lead us to where we want to go. Our dreams let us do what we think we can never do. In dreams, there is nothing but freedom and hope.
I dream of painting clouds. And now I am. I dream of so many things and people keep telling me I won't be able to do it, but I'm going to do whatever I want. Because no one is going to stop me.
No dream is impossible. All you have to do, is dream a little bigger.

After two years of waiting, Phoenix Custom Bricks FINALLY shipped out his fantastic Custom Nolan Trilogy Batman figure, and man was it worth the wait! :)
Now I won't go into too much detail, as I already semi-reviewed this fig over on my Patreon a few days ago. So if you want to read all about my thoughts and feelings about this fig, head over there!
Besides that review, there's also three more bonus (fully edited) photos, along with two behind-the-scenes posts about the process of this shoot and build, AND a video all about the editing!
ALSO! I have another photoshoot with this figure planned out that Patron's will see first in a few months :)
So yeah man, that's where the party's at, go check it out over there :)

Speaking on Phoenix Customs, here’s a big shout out to Adam Sansale himself for recently joining the Patreon! He’s of course the owner of Phoenix Custom Bricks and producer of this fantastic figure! He’s been part of the Flickr community for years now, and if you’re somehow not already, you should really go give him a follow or buy one of his many great custom minifigs!
Also in the same week, my Mom joined the Patreon too! So if my Mom can figure out the internet, than I’m sure you can too! It’s a pay-what-you-want system, with different levels of posts based on your support! It’s easy, no sweat, a breeze, easy as pie... you get the idea!
This post, like so many others, are brought to you by Adam, Mom, and other fellow patrons of my work. Their support helps to keep this page up and running and funding future projects and figures! So if you enjoy my photography and would like support this page too, have a visit sometime! :)

Finally finished making my Arctic Warfare Humvee I call the "Snow Cat" which is based on the one seen in the film "Inception" with my own changes here and there. Advice from Mark of Falworth on the tech for snow on the tree's..so thanks Mark pal. Edit by Todd, thanks very much Bud. !your skill always amazes me! Plenty of help and advice aswell..so thanks again..this ones for you! Ski mask heads from CB Joe..great gift..so a massive thanks ; )
Based on some unused concept art found in the book "The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road" by Abbie Bernstein and published by Titan Books. Max used a makeshift awning he drew out of the car window. Easy to set up and easier to take down in a pinch.
The tent canvas is made of a torn piece of crumpled origami paper, the desert is made of the underside of my brown bedsheets, and the car is made of LEGO bricks.
One more thing to note:
A lot of people have been asking me for Interceptor instructions. I apologize that I haven't replied to a single request. Perhaps I'll post instructions in the future. It's something I wanna do! So stay tuned, folks!

I made some more Brickheadz inspired by the incredible the Nolan Trilogy!
Scarecrow was a blast to design, while Bane was a pain in the keester (but you can check out patreon to see what I'm talking about) :P
***
Patreon has some neat stuff right now all about these two Brickheadz, plus a look behind the curtain at their design process, along with a cool 360 GIF of a Two-Face build I made, plus a bunch more if you're into that sort of thing! Check it out!

The Feds recently sold the 1933 courthouse to SKB for USD $1.8 million. That's something like nine bucks per square foot.
Addendum: Apparently, the courthouse interior covers some 162,103 square feet, not 200,000 square feet. Still, $11.10 per square foot is a heck of a good deal for SKB. (See KOIN article below.)

Symbiote: "Eddie, it's getting really boring in here."
Eddie: "Shut up, I'm trying to meditate."
Symbiote: "Why are you doing that? You could be lifting right now."
Eddie: "You know I can hardly do either since you've been chatting in my head."
Symbiote: "We know you're really napping. We know the difference."
My latest version of the Bat pod, it's had more changes then you would know.. will leave this version be..for now ; )
I recently displayed a portion of my Mad Max models at STACK 2016 in Dubai. It was an excellent show and the international group of AFOLs showed a lot of team spirit. I will be breaking down and rebuilding a lot of the my cars in time for Japan Brick Fest 2017, so I guess this will be the last time we'll ever see the Earsplitter/Doof Wagon ver. 2!
-this is not my design at all I really hated my venom figure and TheMooseFigs made his venom like a day before mine and it was so much better so I just tried my best to inmate the design so full credit to him for this design
-I still have the old one I just like this one better
Fascinating villains and their dogs. To my shame I have not read Oliver Twist but in the films and TV productions Bill was given a certain glamour... to highlight his wickedness!

Flight of Birds (1960)
Food court, Lloyd Center shopping mall
Portland, Oregon
5:32 PM
Tom Hardy's sculpture was originally installed suspended above the Lloyd Center Ice Rink. I am not aware of any official plans to preserve the sculpture prior to the mall's upcoming demolition.

Very much inspired by the unique look of the War Rig from the upcoming "Mad Max: Fury Road" film, I challenged myself to make something comparable. After the vehicle had taken shape, which was plenty difficult, the most difficult aspect of this truck was figuring out how many spikes was enough. From start to finish, the Princess took about three months to build.

Ves si això de la reencarnació serà veritat... perque crec que he trobat, en aquest ferrotip de finals del s. XIX la imatge identica d'un famós actor, sabeu qu� .... Tom Hardy. Mireu:
www.revistagq.com/noticias/articulo/tom-hardy-venom-dinero
Quan vaig començar a fer plaques de col·lodió em va venir la idea de obtenir alguns ambrotips i ferrotips autentics de finals del s. XIX-principis del XX. Realment resisteixen el pas del temps!
ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrotip
===========================================
This is a late-XIX Century tintype of an American man... probably from the West. But it makes me wonder if somehow reencarnation exists. Because he's quite identical to a famous actor, wonder who?
...
...
... Tom Hardy! Well, in this case, maybe he is a revenant (pun intended!). Look:
www.revistagq.com/noticias/articulo/tom-hardy-venom-dinero
The tintypes of later XIX Century can be difficult to date, as the first were made c.1852 and were dominant until around 1880 when the dry plates displaced the collodion wet plates. But tintypes continued as a cheap way to get portraits until the 1930s!
When I started making wet plate collodion images, the idea came to me to get some authentic ambrotypes and tintypes from the end of the XIX or early XX Centuries. They really stand the test of time!
