After taking a hiatus for over a decade, I'm back on Newgrounds!

Back in 2009 I took a break from making Flash animations in order to focus on a career in digital arts, and then moved from Lancaster, PA to New York City. Since then, I've become well-adept with photography and making elaborate LEGO creations, and in the recent years I've started making my own stop-motion LEGO brickfilms. I decided to start mirroring my LEGO videos on Newgrounds, so what you see here (moving forward) are videos that I've put on YouTube previously.

I've also removed some of my older Flash animations due to how poor the quality was, yet I've kept some of my other classic Flash videos due to popularity – namely the Sephiroth and SAW videos. I mean, in retrospect, they were poorly-made self-insert Mary Sue videos full of copyrighted material, but they serve as a time capsule of the old internet!

Since brickfilm animations take a long time to create, I can't guarantee I'll be uploading as frequently as when I made Flash. However, at the time of this post, I'm currently in the process of moving into a new apartment with a better housing situation than what I currently have now, which means I'll more comfortably be able to focus on making stop-motion animations.

It's here at last: My giant 8,000-piece replica of a Super Mario Bros. 3 airship, that has wiring for lights and sound! This titanic brute spans across a 6' table, and has been in production gradually for the past few months. The photo session was taken just recently by my friend Roz, and with any luck, we can get this bad boy put on display in a public art gallery in SoHo, NY!

Also, stay tuned for another geeky LEGO/Nintendo crossover: a replica GameBoy that transforms into a robot like Soundwave!

Howdy, folks!

Baron von Brunk here to tell you all that I am in fact still alive and productive, despite over two years without a new Flash animation. I've spent quite a lot of time and effort in my adult years as a professional graphic designer, therefore not having much time to crank out as many web toons as I did in 2005. I did in fact completely renovate Baronvonbrunk.com with a new layout and infrastructure, as well as major layout overhauls for the BVB LEGO Page, made a new Beard of the Week Feature, and most importantly, created a new Facebook fan page!

For those of you who's missed me or forgotten that I still exist, here's what you need to know:

* I now live in New York City
* I'm employed as a graphic designer and product developer and second-in-command to a new electronics company in Midtown Manhattan
* My office is directly across from the Empire State Building
* I'm a union television actor, and I've done minor background work on Blue Bloods, Nurse Jackie, The Good Wife, Bored to Death and a commercial or two
* I now have five tattoos; 1.5 of them is a diagram of a LEGO Futuron minifig, and the others are from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
* Tiggs is deceased
* I'm still single, however, I've been in-and-out of flings and minor relationships a lot
* I don't plan on moving back to Lancaster, in fact, when I earn a fortune with this new company, I'd like to purchase several acres of land and create a 1:1 scale replica of Kakariko Village for me to live in alone
* I've met several celebrities while living here. Most notably, I chatted briefly with Steve Buscemi, hung with Oderus Urungus of GWAR, and wore an offensive t-shirt that grossed out Carol Queen
* In order to succeed as a real paid artist, I've launched a completely serious website called Situs Julius to focus on my commercial talent
* I'm slowly working on an animated short film for the TriBeCa Film Festival

Take a peek at my latest creation, a custom red & gray mobile suit! I call it the Gundam PA02, or "The Pennsylvania Zero-Two". The gatling gun mounted on his shoulder even rotates its barrels when the bullet carousel is turned!

This bad boy is heavy duty indeed!
