Updates Tuesday, June 1, 2010


During the month of May I did quite some building and uploads on my Flickr. Somehow the updates didn't come through here. But they're now all in place, hope you enjoy. Also this blog is bound to get a much needed overhaul pretty soon...

Nate 'nnenn' Nielsen Wednesday, April 14, 2010




I am really shocked and saddened to hear that nnenn has passed away. A true artist when it comes to Lego building. Like a lot of other Lego builders, I also didn't know nnenn really well. He was like a nameless and faceless Space hero. We all knew him very well through his fantastic inspiring builds, his vision, perspective and influence. Heck, it was his work that got me into Lego again.

Besides commenting on each others work, we exchanged some e-mails on a couple of subjects. We shared some love for the same source of inspiration and there was mutual respect for each others building and vision. He also gave me some useful feedback and advice... even last month he gave me a great view on the negative side of 'fame' in the Lego community. Something he was clearly familiar with and that's something I still don't understand.

While we are different builders, I've been compared to him more than once, which I always take as the biggest compliment.

nnenn, thanks for all your artistry, inspiration and food for thought... you will be missed! My heart goes out to your wife and two boys.
