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

This is very cool.
Welcome.
Check out the crypto art, creative commons and slothicorn communities. I think you will make a great contibution to the diversity in the steemit art community.
Its great to see younger people on the platform. Especially from Oceania ;)

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.
Welcome
