Some LEGO builders elevate the form to fine art in its own right, while others enjoy reproducing famous works of art with the brick. Find beautiful and thought-provoking LEGO artwork right here.

Lego, Lego me do. You know I Lego you!

Digger Digger Dogstar does it again! Here’s his version of Please Please Me:

Plastic soul, man, plastic soul!

Thus said Paul McCartney on take 1 of “I’m Down” — the phrase that inspired the album title Rubber Soul, here recreated through the genius that is Digger Digger Dogstar:

Plastic soul indeed.

Contemporary Art, LEGO’d

Classic-Castle member brody has discovered an art exhibit in the U.K. by John Cake and Darren Neave (aka “The Little Artists”) that recreates various pieces of contemporary art in LEGO bricks.

Read more about the exhibit, titled “Art Craziest Nation,” on the Walker Art Gallery Web site. Here are a couple of previews.

Damien Hirst’s “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living” (1991):

Andy Warhol’s “Money”:

Fine Art, LEGO’d

Hippotam over at Polish LEGO blog Klocki has found some really cool fine art in which the subjects have been turned into minifigs.

Here’s Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” LEGO’d by Joel Grannas:

And a self-portrait by Vincent Van Gogh LEGO’d by “nismo4banger”:

(Sorry for the huge sizes — I just think they’re better big.)

B&W Movie Scenes by odchaz

I hadn’t seen any LEGO work from Flickr user odchaz before yesterday, but he’s just uploaded a batch of really cool black and white movie scenes using built from classic LEGO.

Here’s Silence of the Lambs:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon:

Star Wars (old school, with Castle pieces!):

Wagiri.

Bruce wondered what ayucow’s recent, rather strange “Wagiri” vignette might mean. Here’s the vignette in question:

I wasn’t sure myself, so I checked out ayucow’s blog post, where he tries to explain:

This was my entry for the 5th Odaiba Click Brick Building Contest. It’s the sort of creation that causes one to struggle when asked “What is this?” If forced to answer, I would say, “After cutting a top sirloin or pork roast into thick slices, you’re all fired up and exclaim, ‘For dinner this evening we eat meat! Yay!'”

(The term wagiri itself simply means “cut in a cross-section” or “sliced in the round.”)

LEGO Shadow Art by udronotto

I’m starting to notice a beautiful trend in LEGO building on Flickr lately — LEGO as fine art.

Here are a pair of wonderful pictures from udronotto:

Rainy Afternoon in the Park

Paolo Manzi presents a beautiful photograph collage titled “Rainy Afternoon in the Park”:

Everyone else is doing it...

Well, I was surfing the web and I came across this hilarious image of so called “Web 2.0-ized” logos, which lead me to this nifty “Web 2.0 Logo Creatr.” I couldn’t resisit:

Gryphon Rider by Rayhawk

Mike Rayhawk has created yet another incredible piece of art based on Lego elements:

Mike is an exceptional artist, who has done amazing concept work for Lego, as well as being the Lead Illustrator for the Knights Kingdom Lego theme. Mike has also done freelance work for various organizations, including the Jim Henson company.
Personally, I am a big fan of his art and am very excited about this latest piece. Way to go, Mike, you are awesome!
