20 years in the Lego community
20 years in the Lego community

As of August 2024, I have been in the online Lego community for 20 years, having posted my first creations on Brickshelf and MOCpages in 2004. To commemorate this milestone, I built a vignette to show the evolution of my building preferences since the beginning. In the 2000s, I was known for building bley spaceships, surrealism, and a theme I created called black fantasy, which depicts entirely black biomechanical monsters with translucent orange eyes. These elements are reflected in the vignette starting from the black base with segments of a biomechanical spine. The number 2 is part of a broken bley spaceship along with other fragmented components scattered around. The creature encasing the tree forms the number 0 and is the husk of the cyclopean virtue, a black fantasy creature that was featured in a diorama from 2007 and seen on my avatar unchanged since then. The melting white blocks represent elements of my surrealist creations, in particular referencing the blocks from my Metamorphosis of the Mind sculptures. With time, these components have faded into obscurity among the overgrowth. The hull rusted, the blocks melting, and the cyclopean virtue inactivated. From these remnants a tree with colorful leaves has grown, representing my new preference to build diverse and colorful creations.

I also wrote an accompanying article on BrickNerd reflecting on the past two decaded of building and sharing MOCs.
