Buy n Large Site

Haven't seen Wall-E yet, but if Pixar's Buy n Large site is any indication, it deserves all the praise it's getting.

Thanks YBNBY!

Lego Wall-E

There's a great interview with Pixar animator, Angus MacLane over at The Brothers Brick, and some fun pics of his Lego creations!

My favorite question?

TBB: Okay, we have to ask this. :-) Why aren’t any of the main characters in Toy Story or Toy Story 2 built from LEGO?

Everybody has toys from their childhood that are very special and meaningful to them. For me personally that would be Classic Space LEGO, Fisher-Price Adventure People, Original Star Wars 4″ line and the first 3 years of the small GI Joe line. You’ll notice that the toys of the Toy Story world are loosely based on or inspired by toys that are pre-LEGO. So I don’t actually know the answer to your question, but I’m guessing it’s because the original character designers did not happen to grow up with LEGO as a major influence. As to why there hasn’t been many Buzz Lightyear LEGO MOCs that would be due to the relatively new arrival of lime green and the shortage of purple.

Check it out!

Seven Words You Can't Say In Heaven

One of my favorite comedians and one of my biggest early influences, George Carlin, passed away yesterday.

He was smart and filthy and daring and I'm already missing him.

Busy Busy...

Sorry it's been a few days, but we've had family in town, Brickworld, and today's the Mrs,' and my anniversary.

Add to that a larger than normal load of custom work, coloring and site design, and, well... it's been busy.

Anyhoo... In the spirt of Brickworld, here's the cut scenes from the new Lego Indy game, without all that darned gameplay:

Christmas Cartoons SPX Minicomic Cover

Here's the cover for the fourth and final minicomic I'll be selling at SPX this year.

The left side was originally more of a yellow color, but I took a bit of Photoshop license and changed it to green.

How Many Minicomics for SPX?

OK, quick question here...

How many minicomics do you think I should print up for SPX this fall?

I'm going to be doing 4 minis: Dogs, Cats, Tech & Christmas

Figure I'll charge about $3 per or $10 for all four comics.

Whathca think? 50 of each title? 75?

Thanks in advance!
