I missed a lot of stuff while I was away for the last two months. One was this tribute to Dr. Suess’s iconic green food by Chris Howard.
This was built for Dr. Suess’s 105th birthday in March. I miss him. I probably always will.

Johnny Tang’s LEGO Hellboy has abs of plastic
Johnny Tang (johnnytang) is at it again with amazing sculptures. His latest is Hellboy:
At this scale, Johnny can pack in lots of important details (like the two studs on Hellboy’s pecs), but it takes some serious skill to get it all to fit together so well. Check out the full LEGO Hellboy gallery on Brickshelf.
Thanks for the tip, Bruce! (More to come…)
Sean Kenney’s colossal LEGO Nintendo DSi is 7 feet wide and weighs 250 lbs
LEGO Certified Professional Sean Kenney was recently commissioned to create a larger-than-life sculpture of the forthcoming Nintendo DSi — yes, that’s Sean peeking out from behind the DSi:
The big blue DS is nearly 7 feet wide, weighs 250 pounds, and was built from 51,324 LEGO elements.
Watch how this amazing sculpture came together in this video:
To see more pictures, check out Sean Kenney’s website and Sean’s MOCpages. You can also see Sean’s Nintendo DSi in person at the Nintendo World Store in New York City.

Bill Ward shows LEGO some LOVE, with a little inspiration from Robert Indiana
Bill Ward has recreated sculptor Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” sculpture, both in original form (below) and “LEGO” form (above).
Read more about both sculptures on Bill Ward’s Brickpile.
Gas Can is his middle name
Fvin doesn’t seem content to wait for the release of LEGO Disney/Pixar sets.
Fvin’s Mack from Cars may not have mud flaps, but has lots of other cool details to check out on Brickshelf.
Thanks for the tip, Bruce!
So meaty!
Skinny tie on Joel McHale, check. Bikini on Mankini (with big ole bellybutton), check.
As Ochre Jelly says on his MOCpages entry for this creation:
It you don’t watch “The Soup” then this creation won’t [make] much sense to you. Actually, if you don’t watch this show then you are missing the funniest show on US television! Perhaps you don’t own a television. Or haven’t figured out how to operate it yet. Or you are a fan of reality TV shows and are therefore unable to read the numbers on the remote control.
Cozy winter kimono
Moko’s latest hair technique gives me an excuse to post his beautiful girl in a kimono (something we haven’t featured before):

Mister Zumbi + Hellboy = Wicked Awesome
We love Adam Grabowski‘s vehicles, minifigs, and, oh, pretty much everything he does, but this Hellboy sculpture is an interesting departure. I suspect Mike Mignola would be proud.
Via Klocki. And don’t miss Jordan’s custom minifig from last year.
Anyone up for a game of Brickgammon?
It can’t be helped, sometimes excellent LEGO creations get passed over by us Brothers. However, thanks to the excellent networking of Flickr, it is still quite possible to stumble upon excellent LEGO creations months (and even years) after they’ve been posted. This LEGO backgammon game by dh-l is a perfect example. Everything from the classic game is recreated out of LEGO except for the dice. It even folds up into a carrying case, just like the original!
