7 June, 2013 (21:38) | LEGO© Creations

The same person that wanted the Pittsburgh Penguins logo asked if I had anything for the pirates or the steelers. I mentioned the pirates mosaic and the steelers helmet in lego, but he wanted it in less than a week, and I wouldn’t be able to recreate either in that time. We settled for a […]

Top 10 reasons I don’t like football

23 August, 2012 (12:00) | Top 10
