Jente Bijl brings whimsy and wonder to every build with a singular way of playing with color and form. Her latest work, NEXOPIRATES, which debuted at LEGO World Utrech, maintains that record with a monolithic station for flying skiffs in a cyberpunk setting. Take away the ribbons of fluorescent color and you’d have an impressive neo-brutalist building where walls lean at odd angles, finding beauty in chaos. Statues of a centaur and a gargoyle add to the dreamlike design. I wonder what sights those flying boats see over the horizon?

Discover a new life, a new beginning
A LEGO builder we’ve admired for a long time has been going through some stuff lately. There’s been a bit of a name change, a bit of a gender change but on display is the same amazing talent we’ve always marveled. Introducing Jente Bijl, a happier builder who is emerging from dark times and this appears to be her debut LEGO creation since living as a woman. It’s called “Inner Me” and what a lovely build it is! The topsy-turvy buildings are all attached and are chock full of clever build techniques. They feature the colors of the transgender flag and also mimics a curvy female shape. It represents a new life, a new beginning for Jente, and she most assuredly has our love and support. We look forward whatever else she has in store for us.
