Welcome to Plasmic Bricks. For those who do not know my name is Bryce McGlone.
I've been building "again" since late 1999. I'm known mostly for
organic monsters which fit loosely in the "mecha" genre of the Lego
community. I like to make LEGO look non-LEGO and generally just experiment with
shapes and building techniques to see what I can do that hasn't been done. However, I've also built several
"normal" LEGO models including buildings, boxes, logos, and
sculptures.
I don't hold any illusions that Lego is
some sort of high art, however, many artistic endeavors are not. In fact I am
uncomfortable calling myself a LEGO artist, so let's just say I build.
I have
fun with LEGO, I poke fun at LEGO, I poke fun of other LEGO geeks, and I make
fun of myself. While some might view me as flippant or arrogant, I am a really just having a
good time.
So welcome again. Look around. I'm still
building the site myself and quite frankly I'm very new at it. So please be
patient and be
kind. I've made a conscious effort to make a fast loading site without any flash
or java script. All the photographs and graphics are optimized for the web. The banners at the top of each page link to this page.
Many of the
pictures in the gallery leave something to be desired. I'm trying to update them with better
pictures. I have all the Mecha still built so eventually I'll get those done.
But most of the Bionicle models are taken
apart (so we'll just have to live with what I have). Also I've tried
to write about some of the bigger models I've made. Though I personally think it's a
bit too much, I've found that I do appreciate when others talk about what they
do. I'm hoping you will too.
