    • Echoing the works of M.C. Escher, as well as German Expressionism, Sly Owl‘s lopsided, sinking, crooked, all around messed-up castle is colorful and appealing in its craziness:

     

    Also check out the other side of the diorama, featured a wonderful house that uses minifig flippers as roofing shingles:

     

     

    Also a bonus, here’s a vignette of a poor soul getting sucked away by a twister:

      I just had a thought about Owl’s creation–it reminds me of this artist who does these trippy looking paintings on memorable locations around the Twin Cities (my hometown), Chicago, and Vegas. His name is Michael Birawer. Owl, if you’re reading, perhaps this can serve as inspiration:

      So that’s what the hermit meant when he warned the company of herres that the people of the castle were a little crooked…
