Seeing The Rocketeer back in 1991 was my first exposure to the concept of retro-futurism. Dave Ware has recreated the wonderful art deco look of the movie poster as a LEGO mosaic:
A few key facts from Dave’s post on the brickwares blog:
- There are 30,672 studs in the mosaic.
- 3.75 feet wide and 5.5 feet tall.
- It took 70 hours to complete.
- The parts alone would likely cost $1,000.
If you’re interested in how Dave created his mosaic, check out several in-progress updates and photos on the brickwares blog.
Yay!
^ Oh, and a hat-tip to Ry, who sent a link to Dave’s rocketeer mosaic. Twice. :D
Beautiful, never before have I been inspired to make a mosaic.
I can be persistent sometimes…
Now that’s devotion.
Oh my! Rocketeer is one of my favorite-ist movies of all time!!! (And for those of you who are skeptical, I have a Bachelor’s in Film Studies)
This Mosaic is going on my favorites list for sure. The Art Deco look is captured brilliantly. Hat’s off to Mr. Ware.
