The Brothers Brick

The castle in the ocean by Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) is a nifty scene to stand on its own. What really makes it extraordinary is the technique of using interlaced 2X2 tiles for the castle wall.

I just want to point out the brilliant bird’s nest technique in this landscape vignette by JD Luse. Here’s the piece that was used.

Not only does Chris Malloy know how to slay a shark, but he also knows how to make a scene out of it. Take the boat for instance: whereas anyone can use the stubborn piece that LEGO has intended for, Chris made his own out of flags and flex tubing while cleverly disguising the broken [...]

As much as I enjoyed Roald Dahl’s classic book, I was fairly traumatized as a young child by “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” The recent, correctly titled Johnny Depp vehicle was only slightly less sinister. Craig Lyons (LegoLyons) has captured the wonder and magic of Dahl’s writing in a series of LEGO vignettes, beginning [...]

Rod Gillies has set sail with this hilarious vignette. I adore those little ships….

Thanks to Johan for the sighting.

Luke Chapman’s vignette is hilarious, but it wouldn’t have been featured without the bubbling acid effects, which I’ve only seen in one other place. I wonder what R2’s thinking.

This surrealist vignette by Kevin Fedde (Crimson Wolf) captures the wonders and horrors of a dreamscape. The images presented in the creation are described in an accompanying poem about a troubled individual lost in a seemingly innocent but dangerous world of his dreams.

Speaking of color, we’ve come to expect a certain chromatic consistency from Rong Yiren. Though his animal-shaped mecha are certainly gorgeous, it’s always nice to see a builder branch out.

In this scene depicting stormtroopers off to work after the end of the Evil Empire, I particularly like R2-D2 wearing a tie.

This vignette by Justin Vaughn (-Mainman-/Xifux) that portrays a small group of Colonial soldiers at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War seems particularly fitting for Independence Day. I’ve been sitting on it for a little while waiting for the right time, and this seemed to be it.

I love the snow clinging to the tree.

This action-packed vignette by Harry Russell (Karrde) has so many neat expressions captured. He built this to showcase his new BrickArms rapier.

Also impressive to pack seven minifigs into about a quarter of the plate while still conveying a sense of motion.

This vignette by Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) is just too beautiful and surreal to pass up.

Moritz (nolnet) watches the news, and so do I.

This wonderful vignette entitled “Ranidaphobia” by Matt S. (Plastic Matt) expanded my vocabulary AND entertained.

I’m in the mood for vignettes apparently.

Could be just a big blog-crush, but everything posted by Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) seems to be worth showcasing to the world. Simple and really creative.

This latest vignette is apparently the result of “messing about” when Rod didn’t have much time to build. Rubbing in his skills.

Somebody (Andrew) stole my thunder and mentioned this in a comment to another post a week ago, but I decided this vignette by Ken Robichaud (buriedbybricks) is still just too cool not to have its own entry.

This vignette by Wojcietch Scrat was just too irresistibly silly not to blog.

I’m fascinated by tagging, though I’ve never done it myself. And as a person who is well-aware of the impact it has on business people, property owners and taxpayers, I have really mixed feelings about featuring any tagging here. But this vignette by Cole Blaq isn’t at the expense of anybody else (I hope), is [...]

Peter takes a stand at Initech in this vignette by Duane Hess (Legozilla):

Now how about a red LEGO stapler?
