2014 Review - a photo on Flickriver

2014 Review

            I know a lot of people create these with every MOC they made in the year, but I decided to showcase some of the highlights (also because some MOCs are in a thousand pieces and have no photos of them). 2014 was a crazy year! I don’t remember the last time I produced this many MOCs and artworks, and I’m really proud of what I’ve done. In the past 12 months I:

-Took 3rd place in Art of Craft’s LEGO contest
-Cosplayed as Wyldstyle a LOT (Elizabeth Banks posted about me on her website and that was SO COOL)
-Spent a ton of time drawing and building MOCs with a bunch extremely excited preschoolers
-Spent even more time drawing and painting LEGO things
-Won best music MOC at Bricks Cascade
-Raised $2,000 for BrickFair, VA’s charity auction with my first Benny painting
-Won BrickFair VA’s Batman’s 75th trophy and was a semifinalist in ReBrick’s Batman’s 75th contest
-Met a ton of really awesome people in the LEGO and AFOL community
-Won a Friday Night Fights on the Brothers Brick with my Batman MOC
-Traveled to New York Comic Con for the return of Bionicle and got to hang out with the Bionicle team (they rock!)
-Sold a painting for Creations for Charity
-Acquired one square foot of a private island called Hawaii 2 (thanks, Cards Against Humanity)
-Took a leap and applied for a model shop job at LEGOLAND, CA, and got it!

2015 starts for me with a feature in the January Brick Journal (thanks, Joe Meno!), and a move down to California to start a new job as a model shop assistant in LEGOLAND, CA! I'm really excited to see what this year brings.
