Any longer out on that road and I’m one of them, a terminal psychotic...
Building from inspiration unlikely to result in any official sets for his day job, Adam “MisterZumbi” Grabowski gives Mad Max the LEGO treatment.

Mosaics of unrivaled ingenuity
Brandon Griffith (icgetaway) displayed two knockout mosaics at BrickCon last October. In addition to their enormous proportions (scale picture 1 and 2), these mosaics are constructed from effective and unusual building techniques. The first, called See Your Enemy, depicts the scene from the Matrix when Neo sees the real representation of Agent Smith. The mosaic uses transparent elements placed on top of traditional colors for an added layer of texture.
The second is a representation of the artwork from the Criterion Edition of Akira Kurosawa’s “Throne of Blood,” it uses a combination of plates, tiles, and even slopes for a variety of textures. Click here for a high resolution of the mosaic to see the details.
It was a three hour tour...[Parody Sets]
Dave Shaddix is working on a beautiful series of Gilligan’s Island creations. Based on episodes from the iconic TV show, they are accompanied by some pretty snazzy box art!
Just a reminder, since the box art looks so authentic, these parody sets don’t actually exist!
You should also check Dave’s MOCpage. Thanks to Heather for the heads up.
LEGO + Maxifig + Leia + golden bikini = Fanboys REJOICE!
Just keep telling yourself: you’re a boy, you’re a boy.
I kept myself awake on a recent international flight by watching movies, including — for the very first time — Some Like it Hot. Michael Jasper does justice to Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis with his latest pair of minifig characters.

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads...
Really, is there anything that needs to be said? It’s by Legohaulic, and it’s everyone’s favorite time-traveling DeLorean.
A T makes us an offer we can’t refuse
Inspired by Alex Eylar and Tim, brilliant young builder AT94 (Flickr) tries his hand at cinematic photography — to great success, I think.
I’m most intrigued by the hood of the car poking into this picture:
Frakking skinjobs!
Just in time for the premiere of the new (theoretically final) season of Battlestar Galactica, Ochre Jelly treats us to a batch of miniland-scale characters from the show, including Six, a toaster, and Baltar:
But my favorite is the cigar-chomping Starbuck:
Check out all of Ochre Jelly’s Battlestar Galactica creations on MOCpages while you watch BSG tonight.
And in case you missed it last week, OJ’s teaser trailer:
Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Tyler (Legohaulic) made a wonderfully realistic figure of the iconic Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This seemingly simple combination of pieces ends up with brilliant results.
“What? Did I forget to wipe my mud flaps?”
Nathan Proudlove brings us good ol’ Mack from Pixar’s Cars.
Nathan built Mack to the same scale as fellow Flickrite Allister McLaren‘s Lightning McQueen and Mater:
