Mishaps and Bubble Wrap

Would anywhere from 9-12 people be interested in putting together pieces for a second BZP Mosaic for BrickFair 2011, since the first one is filled up?

Post here (or CF's entry), and if we gather enough interest we'll continue work on a second image.

A reminder:

Spoiler tags are not to be used in the blogs unless it is hiding information that requires spoiler tags (storyline info, web content, new sets, etc.) as per the BZP spoiler policy here.

Oh no!, you say. What will I do if I can't hide all of my blog approvals/large amounts of quotes/photos/crazy storyline info in my blog entries and content boxes behind spoiler tags?

You can:
1. Deep link to each image, blog approval, topic, etc.
2. Create a blog entry, lock the entry, edit the information into it, and then put a link to it in a content box, similar to what I have done with the list of blogs I follow here.

"I don't know man, it's just too mainstream to just be clearing off islands all the time. I mean, talk about disrupting my latest eco gluten free ultra vegan steampunk organic underground garden with all the noise. Those poor tomatoes can't grow in such a disruptive and harmful environment."


"Throwbots were better."

DeeVee and I were talking. We decided the Bionicle universe needed some hipsterness.

So I entered BBC Contest 61.

When all of the Bionicle pieces I currently own can fit in a 8"x3"x4" box and not even fill it halfway.

And I've never MOCed anything using Bionicle pieces before.

Unless you count building a Bohrok from memory at LEGOLand when I was twelve.

Go comment or something.

Also go and comment and later vote on this one too. It's crazy manly cool.

C'MON SHOW THEM WHAT YOU'RE WORTH.

A one hour study in charcoal. Check it. And post any comments/critiques there, please!

HEY, do you wanna feel SO ENERGETIC? Try BBC CONTEST 61. A contest for people who need GRATIUITOUS AMOUNTS OF MOCs. With all new MANLY MOC EXAMPLES like BUFF ELECTRIC-O'CHOCOLATEMILK, it's like adding MOCS to an ELECTRICAL CHOCOLATE STORM. Sound the alarm, you're gonna be UNCOMFORTABLY ENERGETIC while you MOC.



What's that? You want STRAWBERRY MOCS? Well how about GRISTLE MCTHORN-LIGHTNINGBERRY? He's made with LIGHTNING, real lightning. Sports (AAAHHHHH!). You'll be good at them. It's an energy drink for MANLY MOCs. MOCMENERGY. These aren't your dad's MOCs, these are ENERGY MOCs. TURBOMOCs.



MANLY MOCS, ENERGY, MANLY MOCS, ENERGY, ELECTROMOCS, TURBOMOCS, POWERMOCS, more MOCS than your ROOM HAS SPACE FOR. You'll be so fast at MOCING, Pohatu will be like, "Sloooooowwww dooowwwwnn." And you'll be like, "RAHGH MOCS!" and kick him in the face with your ENERGY MOC LEGS.



You'll make so many MANLY MOCS (AAAHHHHH!) just MOCING ALL THE TIME. MOC running, MOC lifting, MOC sweeping, MOC dating, MOC eating, MOC laughing, MANLY MOC babies. You'll make so many MOC babies. 400 MOC BABIES.



Give Shockolate to your MOCS and they'll be good at SPORTS. Make your MOCS run ABNORMALLY FAST. They'll run as fast as KENYANS. People will watch them running and think they're KENYANS. They'll race as fast as KENYANS, in a race with actual KENYANS, and it'll be a tie, and they'll get deported back to KENYA.



Hey, go with the sure thing. Don't gamble on your MANLY MOCS (SNAKE EYES!). Try BBC CONTEST 61, the contest that will make you (AAAHHHH!) MOCS (AAAHHHH!).

on staff.

This thing is stupidly difficult to write.

You still haven't written it.-FN

YOU FINALLY WROTE IT.-FFN

Snail helmet.

That image link above is a design I did for a helmet design contest a local bike company was doing. Basically, design a helmet based off of a certain brand of helmet makers helmets (which often "feature whimsical, ironic, sometimes loud, other times just plain pretty designs"), and then we'll pick our favourite and the designer gets a $500 gift card to our store.

Now, this was something I'd heard about a few weeks before, but forgot about until Friday, the day before it was due. So, in a "oh, I have a couple hours this morning and afternoon before track practice. Let's see what I can create in that time....except I don't really have time to do this via pencil or charcoal or paint, sooooooo tablet drawing it is" moment, I gave it a shot. I kind of went into it at that point with the notion that I was doing this for fun as well as a bit of practice with the tablet, seeing as I rarely use it because it feels weirdly confining in comparison to other mediums.

So, imagine my surprise when I came home this evening to an email saying that I'd won. Even better? My mom said that if I won, she'd trade me $500 for the gift card because she's been wanting to get a bike from that company for a while. So, hey there money that will help with maybe buying a new camera body since my Nikon's apparently decided to kick the bucket today after two and a quarter years or maybe making it to one or two of these conventions.

Also, check it. I made some real Bionicles arts with a silly title.

Very late posting these to maj, but the mix of a backlog of editing and uploading many other photos and school/other priorities kept them from being posted until now.

I think my only request is if you or anyone wants to use these photos for something (a photo of one of your MOCs, a photo of you, etc.) please message me and ask first. I generally don't mind, but if I start finding my photos being used without my permission, I'll be sad that people are stealing and thinking it's ok and I'll likely request that you remove the image(s). Other than that, enjoy!
