Welcome to Amhakia Visions!
My name is Mark Kelso, and I'm a professional artist. So in answer to the ever-so-frequent comment...yes, I actually do have a life! (For those unconvinced, please consider yourself welcome to visit my art website, markkelsoart.com., any time you require evidence. I could understand why you would!)

But around here I'm just another victim of the all-consuming, uber-maniacal, life-devouring passion that is Lego.
At the table, working on The Eye of Chaos
A Little Background:
I was born in 1967 (yeah, I know...AGES ago!), and grew up with Lego. I put the bricks away in my teens, to pursue other interests...namely women...and didn't return until December of 2006 (having found the perfect woman, and somehow talking her into marrying me!). It was then I stumbled upon MOCpages, as well as other on line sites for Lego. With that discovery, I said farewell to reality, and began the rapid and dark descent into tortured madness, joining the other countless rabble of ABS victims...known as AFOL's (adult fans of Lego). So, there it is. December of 2006, and another AFOL is consumed by the fires of Legohaulism!
Currently:
I have a passion for large, detailed creations, and I'm currently working on a 7' model of the sister ship to the Spirit of Fire (from the game, Halo Wars), called the Eye of Chaos.

I also enjoy story-telling and hope to get back to a series called Apocalypsis some time in 2012 (you know...before the world REALLY ends).

From time to time, smaller creations find their way onto the Lego table, and though the theme of space is a personal favorite, I'll also often tackle landscape, and castle subjects.

Help:
As an advanced builder, I'm sometimes able to offer advice to others who are newer to the hobby. I'm also currently a moderator for this site. So, if you have any questions, please feel free to link to the pages below for some building tips, or assistance with MOCpages:

Meanwhile, welcome to the hallowed ground of yet another AFOL. Feel free to kick your shoes off, sit a spell, and take in all that...wait...what the hell's that smell?...Okay, put your shoes back on! Anyway, feel free to sit a spell, and have a look around. Comments are always welcome, and there's bonus points for humor, sarcasm, or poetic irony! Enjoy!
