Titoy's Magical Chair

July 10, 2019/ Tommy

I had never heard of Titoy’s Magical Chair before I saw this MOC by builder Messymaru, but I love it. It’s about a boy with no legs who’s not going to let such a silly thing, or the confinement to a wheelchair, dampen his spirits or limit his sense of adventure. I think we can all find a little inspiration in this.

School Sucks The World Over

July 06, 2019/ Tommy

Builder nobu_tary named this creation “Japanese elementary school student”, but I can tell you from personal experience as both a student (a long, long time ago) and a father that this face is universal. I saw it on fellow students’ faces, I saw it on kids in London, I saw it on my own boys’ faces here in California. It is a worldwide constant, school sucks (at least sometimes).

Nock, Draw...

November 19, 2018/ Tommy

Have I ever talked about being into archery on this blog? Not so much any more, I’ve since sold my bow, but I was into it several years ago. I still have my trap target and a small bow, should the notion strike. I don’t think my form was ever as nice as this stunning creation by Pate-keetongu though, she’s gorgeous. Just look at all the lovely details, I’m smitten.
