Born in 1978, I was a huge "Lego kid" and remember having a few classic space sets but never a complete collection. I went into a Dark Ages during my late teens and emerged about ten years later. I work as a glass blower making scientific instruments but my passion has always been art: painting and sculpture. I'm still interested in art but my painting is on the back-burner now as I pursue my new found Lego obsession. I'd describe myself as quite a lazy builder, I do enjoy new techniques but mostly for me they're a means to an end. Having said that though, I'd like to keep my collection relatively small as I've found that if I lack certain parts for a moc it motivates me to try something tricky as an alternative and I usually discover something cool that I otherwise wouldn't have bothered investigating. For inspiration I'm constantly scouring the web for abstract art for strange shapes and looking at experimental vehicle designs.
