allmusic lists over 80,000 artist biographies, so Izzo has a long way to go before he runs out of material for his musical minifigs.
His latest is inspired by The Gorillaz’ Demon Days album art:

Lukas’ Steampunk Chimney
The steampunk bug has taken a huge bite out of Lukas. That’s a good thing.
Here’s his latest, a “steam chimney”:
Now with a bonus floating rock!
But wait, there’s more! Flappters inspired by Miyazaki’s Laputa:
No LEGO at Bumbershoot 2006
The Seattle Weekly reports that families hoping to leave their kids in the “LEGO pit” at Bumbershoot (our annual arts festival) while they run off to see Of Montreal or Rogue Wave will be disappointed this year. Just so ya know.
Soren’s Mini Advance Wars Units
Advance Wars is by far my favorite Game Boy Advance game, Advance Wars 2 is just as good, and Battalian Wars for Nintendo GameCube totally rocked. As if the game’s units weren’t tiny enough, Soren has successfully distilled them down to mini-scale:

Mark Stafford’s A-29 Mako
What batch of catch-up updates (say that three times fast) would be complete without something from Mark Stafford?
His A-29 Mako is a “multi-purpose atmosphere or space fighter.” Nice. (Via the speedy Snoikle.)
The Latest from Cerebruminc
Snoikle has a great interview with Philip Painter (Brickshelf), discussing the design inspiration and building process behind his latest spacecraft, LL928. Here’s the freighter in question:
While we’re at it, here’s a great “multi-role vehicle,” or MRV:
Who you gonna call?
Okay, so it’s gotta couple of non-official stickers on it. Sue me. But c’mon, it’s the Ecto 1, everybody!

Take this, Cute Overload!
Fine. Be that way. If Cute Overload won’t blog my LEGO+animals submissions, I’ll post them myself. Next time I’m totally submitting to Adorablog instead. Hmph.
From Japanese blogger Bon, we have a post titled “Summer Vacation,” featuring an adorably tiny frog demonstrating Rule of Cuteness #14 next to a bald minifig:
Flickr user joocyfrewt presents Pancho the teddybear hamster, whose high BEF is compensated for by looking sleepy, sitting in a house made of LEGO:
So there, CO.
Life down there is just a strange illusion...
Izzo populates his “Heavy Metal Archive” with the mascot from Iron Maiden, “Eddie”:
Samara the Witch
Eurobricks member and Brickshelfer “Apophis Voo” presents Samara the Witch. Given that she’s a minifig, I suspect she weighs less than a duck:
What I like about Samara is that Apophis has combined bits and pieces from lots of different themes to create an awesome fantasy minifig. I also think this is the first time I’ve seen Draco Malfoy’s head used on a female fig.
Arvo’s LEGO Nintendo Game Boy
Brickshelfer arvo’s latest real-world object built from LEGO is a Nintendo Game Boy:
Dimunative, Miniscule, Small, Very Tiny Robots!
Mecha can be pretty big, but Brickshelfer MACHA goes the other direction with a series of tiny creations inspired by Gundam. Click the image to see multiple galleries of pint-size creations:
(Check out the itty-bitty Guncannon in the middle of the picture!)
My only disappointment is that MACHA hasn’t created Gundam itself. Oh well, we can hope for an update.
