My latest work is not something I typically build. It’s my first forced perspective build, my first imitation of a 2D image, and also my first time building a MOC for a single photo. You can see the original painting and its meaning on Flickr.

Fluorescent graffiti
Alex Schranz uses transparent colors to create a 3D graffiti display of his signature “PAX.” He uses a black light to give the pieces a fluorescent glow, resembling something from another dimension.
LEGO is greebly
Lego mystery box is a puzzle to open
Todd Wilder built an ornate box that’s also a puzzle, requiring its six compartments to be opened in order. Check out the gallery that shows sequential photos of this complicated but fun process.
UPDATE: Todd has uploaded a gallery showing the question mark tessellation.
Thanks for the tip Pepa Quin!

Ravel: a picture puzzle
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 flash game Looming.
It’s all a matter of perspective.
Time’s running out to enter the Colossal Contest over at Classic-Castle! There are some fabulous entries this year, and it’s been a blast to watch them come through. I do not envy the judges.
Zack Milenius’s entry is all about relativity. Or, more specifically, Relativity.
I like the castle-twist to a classic art piece. It’s just a fun build.
Christmas window
It’s amazing what can be done with cheese slopes, and Katie Walker knows that better than most of us when it comes to creating designs and patterns. Her latest Christmas window is simply a delight, just in time for the holidays.
It’s a painting
Mark Kelso is also a painter, who was recently commissioned to produce a still life for a gallery. Naturally, he turned to his other hobby for inspiration, yes, Lego that is.
For once, we can definitively place this post in the art category :)
Map of Europe with landmarks
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 53,500 bricks over half a year.
Via Make. Thanks for the tip Théo!
It’s all right there, in Black and White
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.
Mega Knight is Mega Huge
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.
