My latest creation is a picture puzzle called Ravel. You are a postman trying to escape from a bizarre world in which you have no idea how you got there. Click on the picture for the riddle on how to solve the puzzle. It’s inspired by a childrens book called It’s for You and the Continue reading →
Creations for Charity took place in the past two months where LEGO fans sold their creations to raise money to donate LEGO to children in need. Here are a few words on the organization and the results of this year’s fundraiser. The beginning Creations for Charity began with the idea of giving LEGO to underprivileged Continue reading →
If you remember some of the old Lego holiday catalogs, you may recall a few having covers that depict minifigs from different themes coming together to celebrate the holidays. I built this concept in a scene that features a gingerbread house and a Christmas tree. How many different themes are represented?
Some time ago I heard that there were a few creations left on Nate Nielson’s computer that had never been posted online. Nathan’s wife was gracious enough to post two of the creations earlier this week and my thanks go out to her. I still miss seeing “Nnenn’s” work in my Contact List. His wife Continue reading →
It goes without saying that Jordan Schwartz is a very talented builder for his age; even so, it may surprise you that he already landed an internship as a LEGO designer in Billund. Fresh out of high school, Jordan is heading to Denmark, early in 2011, to begin his work helping the company design new Continue reading →
We recently received a copy of Beckett Media‘s latest foray into the world of fan magazines. For a cover price of $9.99 USD or $14.99 CDN, you get 96 pages, made up of 23 Features and 4 Departments. The features cover a wide range of topics, including trips to Legoland, interviews with Nathan Sawaya and Continue reading →
For all you LEGO fans in California between BayLUG and LUGOLA — that means you, dear readers in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Goleta, and everywhere else along scenic 101 — there’s a new LEGO Users Group founded by one of our favorite people, Tommy Williamson, who’s created one of the classiest LUG logos of all Continue reading →
Today we received the unfortunate news that Dan Jezek, the owner and founder of Bricklink has passed away. He had such a profound impact on this hobby, it hard to even consider. It is quite possible that there is no other person who has affected the Adult Lego Fan community as much as he did. Continue reading →
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.
Hillel Cooperman gave us his take on the collectible minifigs earlier this month at BrickCon and I have to say that he expressed my feelings perfectly! Watch the video and tell me what you think. Just one word of warning, there is “adult” language in this video. So cover the ears of any kiddies who Continue reading →
Aaron Amatnieks (akama1_lego) and I were spending a productive day in a LEGO chatroom yesterday when he showed me a tree he’d been working on. I absolutely loved the concept and went off to build one for myself. I’ve been thinking about gum trees a bit lately so had some ideas to try out showing Continue reading →
If you’re interested in learning more about Keith Goldman‘s Logan’s Run diorama, you can now listen to a well-made podcast on Small World.
I’m back from BrickCon, and ready to unveil the only new creation I’ve built since July. I had the funky idea to build this one evening, and actually had the time to do so. I figured that the post-apocalypse building scene could use a little more levity, and what’s better than cheerleaders to bring some Continue reading →
…comes my latest creation, a ship called Broken Regret. I strove for an ominous and organic looking craft by incorporating curves and spikes (best viewed on black). The result is something that looks much better in real life than on photos. This is due to the curves of the ship distorting our perception of its Continue reading →
My buddy Nick Kappatos and I once again teamed up to build for BrickFair. We can’t seem to tear ourselves away from crashed alien space ships as a subject, though I think we managed to change things up enough. This year, we’re bringing the viewer to a bizarre sector of the sea. A shaman stands Continue reading →
