I can hardly contain my excitement for this. My little brick film Batman vs Superman is the cover story of issue #34 of BrickJournal! And as if that wasn't exciting enough my Star Wars #1 cover is featured in the article about Brandon Griffith's Comic Bricks. I'm a happy nerd.
Earlier this week, BrickNerd contributor Sid attended a special, family-friendly preview event in Midtown Manhattan where he caught a preview of a new themed room at the LEGOLAND Hotel at LEGOLAND Florida Resorts. Here's his report.
Read MoreI'm totally stoked to get a mentioned on my favorite podcast! Welcome to my humble little website, here you'll find tons of fantastic creations from LEGO artists and enthusiasts all over the planet. You can also check out my mostly terrible YouTube channel and use these links to find me being semi-social and mostly not funny.
Oh, and here's my most popular video, my interpretation of the coming battle between Batman and Superman.
Is it just me or is this year FLYING by? Seems like just yesterday Brick Magic was inviting me as a special guest (yeah, me, go figure) and the convention was months away. Now I have a flight booked and I'm starting to gather stuff for it. Before I know it I'll be in North Carolina, will you be there too?
I'll have some fun swag, you know you want it.
Friend and fellow filmmaker Paul Hollingsworth and his daughter followed in John Hammond's footsteps and spared no expense making this EPIC tribute to Jurassic Park. If you're a fan of animation, LEGO, dinosaurs or humor, you're going to love this film. There's also a great behind the scenes video, where you can see that making these films is as much fun as watching them. I chatted with Paul this morning and he said "Teaching Hailee how to animate has been a great way to spend time together doing what we love." I couldn't agree more.
Do you like LEGO? Do you spend way too much time browsing Flickr and MOCpages? Do your friends consider you the funny type? Ever been shoved in a locker or blow the grading curve? Would you rather attend SDCC than baseball camp? Know who played Wedge Antilles? Congratulations, you're our kind of nerd!
BrickNerd is looking for contributors. If you think you've got the right stuff gather some writing samples and send an email to tommy@bricknerd.com

Nerd hearts are breaking all over the world. Leonard, you will be missed.
“Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.”
Mark your calendars because Brick Magic is back this year on May 9-10th. Celebrate Mother's Day in LEGO style and come see some amazing MOCs and me! Yes, for some strange reason TwoMorrows and BrickJournal thought I would be a good special guest and have invited me to attend. So make plans to get to Concord NC this May and I'll see you there!
Our pals at Tee Fury have opened the floodgates of LEGO inspired awesome and have an amazing collection of shirts on sale for the next week! Sixteen shirts in all, everything from TV and Movies to pop culture mashups is here. Head over and grab some before it's too late!

No Starch Press should be very familiar with regular readers, they've put out some of the most awesome LEGO related titles in recent years. Well, right now they're running a crazy e-book promotion and charity benefit where you pay what you want for a collection of books! And it's not just any books, there's some top-shlef LEGO books in there, like The LEGO Adventure book and LEGO Space. Here's the trick though, you pay $15 or more not only do you get the whole collection, you also score some additional books including Steampunk LEGO! What the heck are you waiting for? The clock is ticking!!!
Another cast member of the sequel to Batman vs Superman has been revealed. I'm very excited that Kara Eberle of Rooster Teeth fame will be voicing Carrie Kelly as Robin! Yes the voice of Weiss on RWBY is going to be in my little brickfilm, how did I get so lucky?
What goes better with death and destruction than minifigs? BrickNerd Studios, in partnership with SpastikChuwawa was recently tasked by The School of Life to do exactly that, and this is the result. We had a great time producing this two minute short, and we're pretty proud of how it turned out.
It's no secret that there's a Batman Vs Superman sequel in the works, but I haven't revealed much more than that. There's been a few rumors, but I will neither confirm nor deny most of them. Well, Kathy Zuelch of Rooster Teeth fame appeared on AfterBuzz TV's The Voice Of last night and revealed that she is indeed going to be the voice of Wonder Woman in the sequel! Yes, the voice of Tex on Red Vs Blue is going to in the next BrickNerd Studios production, and I couldn't be happier.
You know what makes really cool camera moves happen in stop motion animation? Motion control, that's what. I've launched a gofundme campaign to get one of these little beauties at BrickNerd Studios. Click through to help.

First place: Nudely - Ochre Jelly
Second Place: What's Inside - customBRICKS
Third Place: Spider-Nerdly - Yatkuu

Stop what you're doing and look down. Now look at these two tees from the excellent folks at Tee Fury and be honest with yourself, which are cooler? Which *should* you be wearing right now? Yeah, that's what I thought. Go now, you deserve it. Or say maybe you have a loved one who has a passion for the brick, but an inability to dress themselves in stuff as cool as this, perfect! Plus the holidays are here, and those shirt boxes aren't going to fill themselves!

Nerdly desperately needed new glasses and ended up redesigned with a removable lid. So what’s inside Nerdly? This year’s Nerdvember contest gives you three ways to answer, from a tiny build hidden inside to a creation that bursts out of the box.
