Keith : "F-Type Fighter"

Josh : "Machine Gun Plane"

Update

The kids are now bugging me everyday to draw their stuff! I have loads of pictures from since a year ago plus some new ones that needs to be sketched....

They are definitely inspired and look forward to seeing their Lego creations in practical visualizations.

Next step will be to challenge them to things beyond just stuff that flies!

Keith seems to be 'stuck' on just improvising on a current design while Josh just made the transition to the smaller Lego blocks....maybe he finds it easier to manage (not too big!) for his huge creations....

The Absolute First Post

I introduced my kids to Lego because I loved playing with them when I was young. I would be lost in my own world with limitless creating capability (at the time, it seems so). Where the rectangular blocks limited my creation, my imagination took over. I attributed to my love for creation to Lego. Well, fake Lego to be exact.

You see, I never had real Lego.

I just had a substitute copy probably made in Taiwan or China or somewhere other than Europe. They came in only a few rectangular flavours...but what I lose out in terms of flexibility, I gained back with sheer volume. I had tons of them. To me the shape of the building block was irrelevant. As long as I had enough blocks I could shape anything. Even a 'sphere'....lego-like sphere that is.

I bought real Lego for my kids. The big kind and the standard kind. I am NOT a fan of those sets that build into one or two types of 'cool stuff' like a place or a car.....I only like the standard fare. The true building blocks of Lego. The original blocks. Those are the stuff imaginations are made of.

I started coaching Keith and Josh to build planes, vehicles....of course they found it peculiar and difficult at first but with a bit of encouragement, their shapeless creations, I noticed, took shape as time went on. Ironic but true.

So this blog....What is it about? Its about chronicling....

The creations of Keith and Josh....and I immortalize them in drawing.
