"...I say this to all citizenry! We, ever your (LEGO) servants will continue to defend your liberty (in the context of offering fun playsets)!...Your ministry remains strong (in that it's well built)."

As of last year, this is the last #LEGOHarryPotter set I had the good fortune to work on. To specify, I designed the top portion of this epic set, a depiction of a street from one of my favorite cities, London.

I have a particular fondness for London. Over the past couple years, I've gotten to walk its streets, take in its architecture and the many forms of art it has to offer, as well as all its city charm. Getting to make a design that paid homage to it was a very fulfilling opportunity. We drew up and built a multitude of amalgamations we felt depicted a London street and vital moments of this part of the Harry Potter Story.

I want to express my thanks to all those involved and tag the graphic designers, @signeaaby and @pt.kjaergaard, whose work brings this set to life. by @atticustm

Had a fantastic trip to Amsterdam with my amazing friend, @caitthekoala. I got to see so much of the city, experience incredible art, and meet some great people.

I cannot wait to go back and discover even more of its wonders. by @atticustm

So, this is 32. My aspiration, going forward, is to be better curious, with a sense of purpose. I'm taking steps to round myself out, still holding onto the important aspects of my character, just expanding my horizons. Why limit myself when I know I am capable?

This weekend in London was a very nice escape. I took myself to a hilarious Stand Up show at the @comedystorelondon, various cafes, the Camden Market, where I found the amazing @camdenwatchco, the National Gallery, and some great eats. I love this city and I look forward to my next visit. by @atticustm

That's a wrap on this sketchbook, folks. With the last viable page, I went and drew myself a new trainer-sona, again, referencing official art, but tweaking it to better resemble me. This book has helped me better appreciate The studying process. The studying goes on...refocusing is the next step. by @atticustm

The LEGO Harry Potter Design Team is here once again to share the latest products we worked on! There are magical plants, the latest section of the ultimate Hogwarts Castle, and even a new buildable Dobby - which of the magical new sets is your favourite? ✨

The people you see here in the video are just a small handful of the many passionate people that work super hard to bring every LEGO Harry Potter product to life, and we're all super excited about the launch of these new ones - most of which will be arriving in June, except Norbert who will be available in August 🥚

Is that a dragon? Not just any dragon, he's a Norwegian Ridgeback. 76477, Norbert, is the newest set I had the good fortune of designing. After working on 76464, the Cauldron, the team thought I'd be good for this project, utilizing a bit of what I learned from that in order to craft the egg. Norbert was fun as a fan of creature building and I even got to see concept art I hadn't before, helping me to notice details like the spikes on the back of his legs. Uniquely, this is a set I also designed the Graphic Elements for.

Our Creative Lead knew of my drawing passion and we saw this as the perfect opportunity to let me utilize these skills in a professional capacity. The journey of exploring the eye and wing designs and landing at our final destination were equally fun. Thank you to @pt.kjaergaard and @signeaaby for teaching me the LEGO Graphic Design principles. by @atticustm

Iiiiiit's the fight of the century, Folks! 75644, Dorry vs. Brogy was a fun set to bring together. Designing the titular giants presented me a chance to create a couple o' classic, LEGO figures, finding the best combo of elements to depict their features, like their facial hair and helmets. I took hints from Gundam figures, providing them with hip skirts to assist their essential posability. Then, came their key, supporting builds.

Figuring out which of Mr. 3's memorable pieces to depict, and how to present a character like Miss Friday, were fun obstacles to overcome, collaborating and exploring with colleagues along the way. The wax fixture went through many different iterations, some more static, more display focused, but we felt the exploding archetype is what best served an action oriented set. The decision to make Miss Friday brick-built came from how many fun pieces we have at our disposal to bring her together. I am very fond of the forks used for her bird feet.

@pt.kjaergaard and @signeaaby did amazing jobs on the Graphic Design aspects of the set. Quite honestly, their work brings this set to life.

I have been listening to this song on repeat for a bit now. That and its accompanying designs fill me with immense joy, something I am very appreciative of.

Happy #PokemonDay, everyone! 30 years. 1,025 (now 1,028 and counting) fantastic creatures. It's impossible for me to narrow down my favorites, at this point, haha. So, here's 5 out of the numerous; Feraligatr, Ponyta, Falinks, Wattrel, and Maractus.

I had a lot of fun drawing these #Pokemon, and I look forward to drawing more. by @atticustm
