An all-digital pop star in two dimensions

Hatsune Miku is an interesting mascot – a virtual Japanese character with an entirely digital singing voice produced by the Yamaha Vocaloid line. And such an interesting, unique bit of pop culture deserves an equally-unique LEGO build of her likeness. Enter Mason Martin, with this gorgeous mosaic of Miku in hot pink and electric blue bricks. While this particular bit of art actually lacks the actual character, so much of her iconic style makes it instantly recognizable, from the light azure hair to the boxy headset. But Mason’s LEGO prowess reaches a crescendo with that glorious kanji above the mascot. It spells out her name, which translates to “First Sound Future,” a nod to the unprecedented nature of such a pop star.

Grab your friendship bracelets, Swifties, because the queen herself has arrived. Taylor Swift’s Eras tour has stunned audiences across the world, and now it makes a stunning LEGO diorama, too. The biggest challenge, says artist Paul Hetherington (aka “brickbaron”), was coming up with a design that could represent the entire tour in a single scene. So he focused on the Lover House, a symbol of Taylor’s extensive career and body of work.
