On the final day at BrickWorld, I had the chance to meet Greg Hyland, an exceptionally talented cartoonist and one of the premier brick-based illustrators. If you liked the comics that are included with the Spongebob and Batman sets, those are his work!

Greg was doing quick pen sketches for attendees that day, and with my microMe minifig and a few BrickArms prototypes for reference, he whipped this up for me:



The title comes from the fact that the cleaver and Spy Carbine were originally suggestions I made to Will. The drawing is proudly framed and mounted in my hobby area. A beautiful reminder of some truly fun times!

Man, that is neat. I'd keep that forever. Maybe even laminate it too, so it doesn't age or rip.

I'm really liking this! I'd also agree to try keeping it intact.

That's really cool! You suggested the Spy Carbine? Neat . . .

Anyway, that's a fun picture.

The sword and spy carbine look AWESOME!

Some of you might be wondering why I have't been posting pics. The reason why is because I lost my camra, which is a big bummer.

Very cool! I saw you at brickworld and that sure looks like you. I would laminate or frame that.

From Series 3. Overall, my absolute favorite design is the one just around the corner. The unknown is always more seductive than the familiar.

Badger, did you have an actual future weapon design in mind, or just the excitement that each new batch of BA products brings?

The Westin Hotel in Wheeling, IL. (about forty minutes* north of Chicago)

[MOD - Clearly you're not familiar with the Dan Ryan Expressway! Yes, it should take about 40 minutes, but that's assuming traffic is clear. On 90/94, that's a big assumption. - badger]

Unfortunately, I'm all too familiar with that . . . road. Friday morning wasn't so bad, but driving back Saturday afternoon took us at least an hour and a half.
