The Brothers Brick

Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray tells of a man who stays young forever while a painting of him ages instead.
Alex Eylar gives Dorian Gray the LEGO treatment in this eerie creation:

Shannon Ocean takes innovation with the brick to create Lego Rorschach images. Go ahead, tell us what you see. The padded cell is downstairs in the basement.

Mark Kelso posted the story of the beginning of one man’s journey into the darkness. The pictures which feature actual LEGO goes beyond those of ordanary LEGO photographs. The editing casts an ethereal effect to the grandiose scenes depicted, and the story is worthy of reading as well. Follow the mysterious young man as he […]

Lino Martins, the Lord of Lugnuts and Master of Motor Vehicles, strikes again. Dubbed “Solar Flare”, his 1960 Impala station wagon is ready for a day of surfin’ and a night of cruisin’.

Jordan Schwartz’s (SirNadroj) fascination with the Fabuland theme is spreading its presence to everywhere. His latest work encroaches upon two themes of my world: surrealism and black fantasy. The result is something dynamically hilarious in my opinion. Nice work Jordan, way to bring the Fabuland happiness plague to the dark realm of interdimensional and biomechanical […]

I’ve been looking at some of the older creations that inspired me when I first discovered the online Lego community and I realized that many people may not have seen these. We never featured them here on The Brothers Brick for the simple reason that the blog didn’t exist then. So, from time to time, […]

Rising star Harrison captures the stark contrast between the sterility of suburbia and the complexity of the title character in Tim Burton’s 1990 film Edward Scissorhands:

Using minifig legs in a creation — in this case as part of a topiary — is quickly becoming a signature of Harrison’s. And the new Speed Racer torso works […]

This is my first surrealist piece of the year and it marks the contortion of my mind for the past year and going. The sculpture itself is extremely fragile, but sturdy enough to survive a 5.2 earthquake. The bulk of the work is composed of four interweaving strands built from corner plates and supported at […]

Japanese mecha master Kwi Chang (Brickshelf) recently won Izzo’s Sci-Fi Industrial Mecha Competition (English info here on TBB) with another excellent heavy industrial mech, illustrated here in a cool background.
The actual model called Type-D9 is quite awesome by itself. You can see another amazing graphic that we’ve blogged earlier here.

Shannon Ocean’s latest work criticizes conformity with the COOL machine. Unique individuals enter and generic drones come out. Is this how personality is suppressed?

Flickr member 713 Avenue recently developed an interest in photo shooting Star Wars trooper minifigs with Apple products and other whimsical settings. The results are interesting and comical, they definitely define some personality underneath the helmets of these minifigs.

Lego sculpturer and owner of MOCpages Sean Kenney has a tendency for artistic expression. His latest work is called Maintaining Normality.

If you have read his explanation but still do not understand the symbolism, according to the artist, “the pole represents the objects that we insert into our environments … be they cars, buildings, big macs, […]

Brian McLachlan is the creator of a weekly webcomic called “Princess Planet,” which he recently switched over to LEGO form for several episodes.
I just love the running gags with the shields, which I won’t ruin for you by quoting. Check ‘em out!
More LEGO webcomic goodness:

Reasonably Clever
Adventures of the S-Team
Grunts

(I know there are several more […]

Noddy depicts the clashing forces of Yin and Yang in a dynamic vignette. Check out the view from above, which cleverly forms the Yin Yang symbol (warning: may induce seizures).

There are two more similar vignettes created in the past. Check out Bruce’s Yin to my Yang and Moko’s White and Black.

Jan Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” as LEGO’d by Udronotto (blog).

As soon as I saw this, I fell in love with its straight lines, not to mention the myriad of colors.
What beauty! What surrealism!

That one brown brick just makes you think. Wow!
Update (April 2): April Fools!

I came across the works of Brickshelf user Devastator today, who has a taste for the bizzarre and macabre ranging from torture chambers, minifig executions and hangings, the gratuitous use of tentacles, and sheer randomness like mecha Pikachu. You may be making some connections at this point, but it is unlikely this builder and I […]

The sort of LEGO-themed food you generally see is that nasty licensed stuff you can get in stores. And most of the LEGO cakes and other homemade food look like melted bricks. But Flickrite hello_naomi uses what my wife says is probably fondant to create gorgeous cupcakes I want to eat right now.
