I was kidding. Obviously I don’t know the guy but I saw that pic and the first thing I thought of was the movie “The 40 Year Old Virgin”. Good on him that he has an understanding partner!

I’ve posted some images before... but I started using LEGO as my main source of medium for my personal artwork about 7 years ago!
I’ll post a few more here for y’all to see:
Always looking for new work and commissions too!

Here’s a couple more... abstract!
I can’t figure out how to draw a stick figure, let alone do some of things you guys can with these. Amazing. @rimmerryan, that starship trooper is unreal. Beautiful work.

I think I posted this here before...if you have any fondness for Vegas buy the cityscape. They are absolutely fantastic, and solve one of the main issues with Lego which is how cumbersome they are to display.
Yesterday I got the Dubai...I’m again floored at the designers creativity for the burj Al Arab, quite a feat to create the off angle, curved shapes in that small scale with existing system parts. It’s not finished, the Burj Khalifa still to do tonight or tomorrow

Some more pics of my collection. Taj Mahal is fun and all, and wife is from India, but it’s way too big to display anywhere. Cityscapes are where it’s at.
If I'm honest, I'm a little jealous myself! He's living exactly the same way he did at college just with all the adult trappings of a wife, kids, car, house, etc. He was smart with some property investment and lucky with bitcoin.
I suppose it's worth mentioning that I was a huge Lego freak as a child - my parents used it as a motivation for me to do well in school (a small set for 3 stars, a big one for 10). I mostly had space stuff. I managed to get my son into it but he's now diverted to gaming mostly. Having said that, he's been using some technics sets to build automated button pushers to lazily play these idle clicker games so I guess they're still fulfilling their purpose of entertainment/innovation.
I only have one set myself left and that's a UCS B-wing which just sits on the shelf collecting dust. I was going to buy more Star Wars UCS stuff but ended up spending the money on something more usable (poker chips).

I had a chance to see this up close & personal a couple years ago. Super impressive......
I found a new use for one of my PCF toppers...
Very impressive, so many details. I always like seeing a ton of mini-figures staged as though the pause button has been hit for the scene, really adds life to a display like this!

Wow! That’s a shit load of seamen!
Been stressed lately so I pulled out the Brick Bank that has been sitting in a box for a while to build. Been doing a little bit each week and finally finished. Next up Assembly Square or the Parisian Restaurant. Not sure which yet...
You can see my son's been playing with the Disney Castle in the background. He's also spent a lot of time building since the quarantine started.

Not too much into Lego. Nur following this guy on YouTube.

I’ve been playing around with LEGO during lockdown as well. Decided to take MC Escher’s Relativity:
And put a little Batman and Arkham Asylum into it. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
It’s got lights and a motor (that rotates the batsuit display in the middle) and I’ve still got a little work to do to hide the battery pack and motor. But definitely a fun build so far.

Awesome organization system. Love it.
I have a large amount of sorted Lego for sale. US $1500 plus shipping. Many many many sets from the mid-late 2000s focusing on City themes, but lots more, with instruction books. PM for list of sets inside. Price is based on Bricklink.com used prices for complete sets with a big discount and a ton of freebies.

Sitting Out
As a kid I loved Lego but never had enough. Now that I have kids I am making up for that. Not sure which bothers my wife more, a half ton of Lego or thousands of poker chips.

HOLY CRAP... Pretty Jealous of this.
Not just the storage, but the inventory as well. That is a ton of base plates down there.
Did you build this all on your own? Or is this something that can be purchased?
Those plates all LEGO brand?
How much cheaper are pieces in Norway?
All genuine LEGO. I'm a LEGO artist, been doing this for 10+ years. Pieces here have historically (and histerically) generally been more expensive than in the US.
As for the storage, not cheap either, mostly IKEA shelves to have flexibility (the ones on the photo below are old and not that good, you can see the warping due to weight, but perfect size for those small boxes; the ones on the photo above, incl. the drawers, are wonderful!). The storage boxes are another Swedish brand (SmartStore), also expensive but worth it.

Here's some of it. I've been chronically bad at updating the gallery
, including insta. Also, a large part of it is work done for companies under NDA... The hotel I made, which was incidentally what got me into chipping ('cause it needed own chips!), was the first thing I had done for fun in a looong time 
A bit off-topic here since it's not completely off-topic to the forum
So, a while ago I got a china birdcage, incl. 6 racks. When my semi-custom Tikis arrived a few days ago, I finally decided to put it in use. The chips fit snugly, so it was a perfect match. A few things I quickly noticed:
(Sorry for the bad quality of photos... also, the top one is brightened on purpose in order to better show the black LEGO construction)

- when closed, the bottom row of racks is partially hidden,
- the bottom two racks were hard to grab and get out,
- the only place to put extra stuff (cards, dealer buttons, plaques) was on top of the chips.
