THIS WEEK'S PATREON FREEBIES!

---

It was another grand Patreon Freebies week!

A couple beach backgrounds and even some kicked-up sand! With all that, I'm wondering if I need a beach vacation.

There's a smoke plume that's likely the best smoke I've made, some flying debris, and the past week's hi-res images and Photoshop files.

If ya dig 'em, go grab 'em!

THIS WEEK'S VIDEOS

---

It was a great week for livestreaming! First, we chatted last week's photogenic figures and answered (kind of) the question of whether or not the toy industry's getting back to normal post-SDCC.

On Thursday, we talked about what the key ingredients are to a fantastic action figure photo. After getting some higher-level concept stuff figured out, people were firing off a lot of what they do, tactically, to get the effects you see on pics all over the internet. It was a fantastic discussion!

Don't forget to check out the Brick Something YouTube channel tonight (Aug. 25) at 6:45 PM EST, and join us for a blast of a chat!

And now, this past week's livestreams.

AND WITH THAT

---

Stick a spork in this one, it's done!

In the next week, I'll be spending a ton of time on the website. So, feel free to snoop around so you can see what I'll I've done / added. Currently, the good pages are About and Collection, so you'll know it's getting close to done (as done as a website CAN get) when things start to look more like those.

Also, if anyone wants to send over a Starbucks (yes, an actual coffee shop), I'd appreciate it.

Have fun, and happy snapping!
