A team of German builders (Bruno Kurth, Tobias Reichling, Vanessa Graf, Tanja Kusserow-Kurth, and Torsten Scheer) created this gigantic 480X480 stud layout of a physical map of Europe. On top of that, they have added 44 microscale landmarks, two of which are for sale on Creations for Charity. This feat is accomplished with more than Continue reading →
Well, Katie Walker has done it again. Not content with staying with her incredible patterns, she has to step it up and create more rooms with them. I have to say that I’m happy with the result. This room is very striking.
Eric Harshbarger had made a Mega-MiniFig and I want it. However, this was a commission piece built for a toy store in Connecticut and they won’t let me even borrow it. But what a thing of beauty! Standing about 5 feet tall and using nearly 20,000 bricks, this fig is standing tall and living large.
Mark Kelso (Amhakia) shares with us his vision of Dracula’s castle inspired by the classic black and white horror films. One of the standout features of this shot has got to be the visible rays of light piercing through the window. The interior is disheveled without being messy.
Arthur Gugick‘s Taj Mahal model is central prop in an upcoming Australian film called Taj. The movie is about a father rebuilding a broken relationship with his daughter when they decided to make the Taj Mahal out of Lego. You can see a trailer that has brief scenes of the creation on Youtube.

The bold contrast of the colors black, white, and pink combined with the polished wooden floor helps give a clean and modern look to the rooms. Details Continue reading →

To Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) that is not really a question (warning! may offend the easily offended). A follow up to the last post.
Take a close look at this creation by Alex Eylar and you’ll understand the title. Clever title by Dablackcat
More than two years after I made The Contortion, I revisited the concept of interweaving spirals and made a very similar sculpture using different colors that are much lighter and more cheerful, reminiscent of a spring flower. You can see the description video on Flickr.
Truly, sometimes a picture just…comes together. The lighting is right, the ambiance set, and it just works. Such is the case with this shot from Katie Walker: You can find more pictures on her photostream.
Wihan (WhereverPanda) presents a gallery of *almost* black and white Lego photos inspired by song lyrics. There’s a sense of mystery and intrigue in each shot brought on by skillful lighting and framing. See them all on Flickr. Thanks for the tip Keith Goldman!
When it comes to Lego and photo lighting, no one has a better reputation than Alex Eylar. Having emerged from his Dark Ages in 2007, Alex has made an impression on the community through his diverse and often pop culture-referencing creations that are photographed with realistic and atmospheric lighting. It is my pleasure to interview Continue reading →
