The combination of exotic colors and shapes from nature in Dita Svelte‘s modular bank makes this a standout build among fan-made modular buildings. The different gradients of green and earth tones add a complex layer of texture on top of that formed by the bricks.
It’s the end of the year which means Tony Sava (SavaTheAggie) has released another of his excellent calendars for sale to help fund RAILBRICKS and his trip to Brickworld 2012. I’ve already blogged a picture from this and it promises to be excellent. A fine addition to any LEGO fan’s wall, be they trainhead or Continue reading →
Cole Bl♠q routinely challenges the conceptions of how we use the Lego medium. Continuing his on-going theme of spray cans is his latest sculpture, a viscerally organic interpretation. It is striking and beautiful, in a way not often seen in Lego. It’s not purist–that is, the effect is not achieved with 100% unmodified Lego pieces–but Continue reading →
This incredible mosaic, by Arthur Gugick, depicts Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and it is gorgeous. Not only does it convey the beauty of the actual painting, but the colors achieved by overlaying the solid-colored plates with transparent ones gives it such an wonderful array of rich color tones. I have seen a lot of excellent Continue reading →
Cole Blaq continues his series on the brick with this piece showing us the inner working of our favorite iconic construction toy. I will never look at my pile of brick in the same way now.
Nelic73 has built a very detailed recreation of the famous statue of Christ that overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro. The detailing on the face and the folds of the robe is first-rate. I didn’t know until just now that this statue is the largest Art Deco statue in the world. I guess you Continue reading →
This is simply incredible. I passed it over several times because I thought it was a drawing. People are always saying that some build or other doesn’t look like LEGO. Well, this one really doesn’t. This build is nothing short of outstanding. Mark Anderson built it. Obviously, he is awesome.
Katie Walker is the undisputed ruler of the cheese slope. Give her a random pile of them and the odd handful of 1×1 plates, tiles or bricks and awesome things start to happen. You have to check out her latest. I keep thinking that she is going to run out of new techniques or ideas Continue reading →
Magnus the Great’s lineup of minifig colorsets probably won’t qualify as a “creation” to some people but it is quite mesmerizing. I find myself just staring at them.
As much as we have an artistic appreciation for many of the LEGO models we feature here, it’s also great to run across art inspired by LEGO. Artist Matthew Ulstad has created a series of prints titled “All is Right in the State of Denmark,” including a minifig study inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Continue reading →
Cole Blaq has some serious ooze going on in his latest creation. I have to say that it is rather mesmerizing. I really like the way the black is creeping across, down and around the white brick.
This mask, by Frederic, depicts his vision of what a fishman would look like. Personally, I hope I never meet one. That is the last thing I want to pull up on the end of my line. But the mask is pretty sweet. The curves and such give a very organic feel and the scales Continue reading →
I’m not sure what prompted Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) to create a winged heart spilling blood over a pedestal, but I’m digging its novelty. Check out the overview of the entire creation on Flickr.
Katie Walker just keeps blowing my mind. Every time I start to think that I’ve seen it all, she posts something new to her photostream. She even says that this is just an experiment and she built it while surrounded by four children, all under the age of four. After hearing that, I would think Continue reading →
Clay Morrow enlightens us with his hovering skeleton. He also has nifty instructions for the skull…
