Beautiful work. I love the tension in your pieces.

(And the pup chasing the birds was delightful). I'll follow you in IG in a bit.

Nah. She's been there for a while. She vacationed here in 1885 and liked it so much, she never left.

I'm not familiar with that plate unless it's a really faded old plate.

I identify with this person.. it appears they moved from Tucson to Oregon, but I can't quite tell what state the plate is from.

Where?

Buncha cowherds, if you ask me

Sadly, my collection eventually folded because I always had difficulty with keeping my space clean (admittedly, it was bad). I got to play with my kids' Lego sets when we bought a table for them, and I always have fun snapping a brick or two together.

My step daughter and son in law share a love for it. They have their place decorated in Lego Art and Star Wars Lego models. His dad fills his garage with a huge Lego Christmas Village during the holidays.

Damnit, Loli, I said starch the shorts!

Same as it ever was.

Genius- you nailed it: [Set 493-1] Space Command Center (Flatplate version). That's it. Red and white it is! They re released it with the textured landscape plates a few years on. And 79 aligns with the Christmas I would have received it on.

I thought I got my first Lego space set when I was 6 but it might have been 8. I thought I remembered it having blue and white figures but it may have been some other color.

The yellow guys were a few years later. I remember my sets having a gray base but no moon rocks or craters- my friend that lived across the street got that set some time after.

I can't seem to find what my set was, but I recognize at least a half dozen of the other ones, from catalogs of the time. The Sears and JC Penney catalogs used to fuel most of my Lego fantasies and I dreamed of getting the entire space playset (Which was only 5 or 6 sets at the time).

Excellent subject matter. I'm going to guess that you're an individual of a certain age.

Very clever.

It's an issue, especially if you have any ADD issues. It took me till about 20 when I learned how to sit down and focus. I still have issues but I've gotten much better. Now days (30 years on) I can sit down and rough out a full concept in a few minutes.. seeing it through to completion is still a problem occasionally. Learn self discipline now and how to set goals for yourself.

I wish you good luck and success.

Well done, OP. I strongly suggesting remastering the image in a digital program and selling the prints. The coloring everywhere is great except for the lips where your markers overlapped a little. It would also be pretty easy to draw a background similar to the "throne" background in "Sweet Transvestite" to 'frame' it.

Understand this is constructive criticism. I love the image, the coloring, and the overall presentation.

Edit- looking at it again, maybe just the remaster and a black background.

Would be interesting to see where the audience participation lines up. I have the lines from a show in Tucson from 30-some years ago memorized. Tragically, I haven't been in a while.

The island of San Juan was the epicenter. They preserve the American and British military camps.

Well, I'll just live out the rest of my life over here while you're waiting for another interstellar object to pass by our planet, in our lifetime.

Seriously. SR 2 taught me about travel in 3 dimensional space

We have, but you're talking about interstellar (as in between the stars, or solar system to solar system) travel. The majority of the asteroids we have access to are locked up in the belt between Mars and Jupiter. We occasionally see comets, but they're not stable enough to sustain is, and then we have the forementioned need to get going at least as far as it is.

Something like ʻOumuamua, the "interstellar" object that moved through our solar system a few years back would be more on track with what you're thinking of. But that doesn't mean we could catch it. ʻOumuamua was 'tumbling' , as in it didn't have a fixed axis we could really locate to even think about trying to run up alongside it.

Ben creeping on you.

I hadn't had any in years and my partner had never had it (directly at least - she got hot boxed plenty, but she didn't or realize it). She was looking for pain relief and self medicating with alcohol isn't a good choice. I explained 'it really only lasts a few hours'.

It took me several years to feel comfortable walking into a pot shop

This is the bird in the bush. It's worth two in the hand.
