Hello Steemit! I'm Jalan, a 15 year old Lego Artist from New Zealand

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Hello everyone, I'm Jalan and I enjoy building detailed Lego dioramas and creations.

A little bit about me.

I have lived in New Zealand my whole life. Apart from building Lego dioramas, I play the piano. Partly because I wanted to, partly because I needed another subject to fill up my high school timetable. I have been learning the piano for three years in which time I have definitely improved. However much to my piano teachers frustration, I tend to "ignore" the timing of a piece.

During last winter I picked up snowboarding as a hobby and tried to teach myself. I have to say I really enjoyed it even though I'm not much of a sporty person. However, I do enjoy long distance running and sports that do not involve a team. About 5 years ago my family moved to a 7-acre farm, 20 minutes from the nearest city. The goal was to be as self-sufficient as possible. We now grow potatoes and veggies as well as having a decent sized flock of sheep. My dream is to immigrate to Canada, mostly because the ski field down here sucks :D

What I hope to achieve on Steemit.

As I said above I love building Lego creations and dioramas. Last year I started posting my creations on Flickr. This really helped me improve my building. However, Flickr lacks the thing that Steemit offers, the ability for me to make a living out of what I love to do most, which is more than we could ever hope for in life. As I continue to post creations I hope to be able to get the constructive feedback which sets Steemit apart from Youtube or any other social platform.

Some of my creations from 2017

I also hope to try and get more professional lego builders over here on Steemit to try and start a dedicated Lego community here, something which will be fun a challenge.

I'm incredibly excited to now be apart of this growing community and I am proud to grow with it.
Thank you for reading.

Damn, I love lego. Just built the Disney Castle I got as a little retro present for christmas a few days ago! Over 4000 parts - probably not much for you ;)

Welcome to steemit and good luck!

Nice creation, welcome to steemit I hope I have that talent to create lego as beautiful as that. =)

Thank you. Everyone has the ability to make beautiful creations. However, it just takes time. For me, it was 10 before I started making anything decent!

Nice lego models. I didn't know you can snowboard in New Zealand.

Thank you, we have limited snowboarding facilities where I live. We have one slope that has a fence between both the beginners and the advanced track.

Nice to see you here on Steemit! Steemit rocks! 🎸

Thanks! It's great to be here.
