I’m always amazed by the endless creativity that happens with Lego. Here, Chris Doyle builds a lenticular image, more precisely with cheese slopes. Check out the effect in the video below.

A tribute to the King of Pop-Ups
Nathan Sawaya has created a gorgeous tribute to Waldo H. Hunt, the King of Pop-Up Books. By the way, this is also Nathan’s first castle.
Thanks to Bruce for pointing this out on Classic-Castle.
Documentary of Sean Kenney – LEGO Certified Professional
Sean Kenney was recently featured in a 30 minute documentary aired on Japan’s national public broadcasting organization, NHK. Click on the image below for the link to the video, where you can see Sean’s LEGO studio, his Times Square model, and watch him build his largest creation: a life-sized polar bear!
Cole is on fire!
Cole Blaq built his name and lit it on fire! Without using light sources inside the sculpture, Cole used a gradient of bricks from the white core to the red rims and an overhead lamp to cast the glow. The effect amazingly realistic!
Stained glass with octopus design
Chris Doyle‘s stained glass creation features a complex octopus design. It incorporates both transparent bricks and plates for a more detailed depiction. I’m still left to wonder why an octopus?
My mind wanders to strange places
My recent surrealist sculpture falls in line with its two counterparts to complete my Metamorphosis of the Mind project, which depicts the transition of the mind from ignorance to suffering and arriving at insanity. The creation below portrays ignorance, with accompanying writing on MOCpages. For those interested in my thought process, the series is based off personal experiences but should not be interpreted literally. After all, I consider myself quite sane, just ask my imaginary friends! JK :)
This picture below shows the three sculptures of the project along with yours truly: Echo of Silence, Cry of Dreams, and Legacy of Vision.
I didn’t think it was LEGO
From a thumbnail, Alex Schranz’s (Orion Pax) newest work looks like graffiti, and that’s precisely what it’s striving to imitate. It’s harder to believe that this is actually a LEGO creation.
LEGO Nakagin Capsule Tower captures the Metabolist spirit
A new builder going by SPACE, TIME, & REALITY has posted a microscale version of the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo.
The technique used for the round capsule windows is excellent, while the mix of light and dark windows adds interest.
Via twee affect.
Dragon Bones
This is what you look like...
….to someone not from here. Da Eart, by Cole Blaq, is freaking me out. I keep looking in the mirror to see if this really what earthlings look like. I think I’m getting there.
You know what street art needs? More frogs.
I’ve been noticing a plague of frogs in a variety of creations and it’s one of the coolest trends out there. Alex Schranz (“Orion Pax”) even incorporates frogs into his latest brick-built graffiti wall called PaxFrogriderstyle.
Fedde (Karf Oolhu) also has a whole series of frog based creations, though my favorites are his civil defense observatory and mobile heavy infantry.
Pop-up LEGO Kinkaku-ji opens to reveal golden pavilion
The Buddhist temple of Kinkaku-ji was originally built in 1397. In 2009, talapz built a Kinkaku-ji in a box. Okay, words fail me here. They really do.
The builder notes in the video that he used 4,500 LEGO pieces to build his pop-up Kinkaku-ji, and it weighs 4 kg. Be sure to watch the whole video — talapz shows how this amazing creation pops up out of the box.
And don’t miss Jumpei Mitsui’s Kinkaku-ji from 2007.
