Vignettes are like the haiku of the LEGO world. Usually built on a base 8 studs wide by 8 studs deep, vignettes show a little scene or a moment in time. But like written poetry, there’s plenty of variation on the basic theme.

Independence Day

This vignette by Justin Vaughn (-Mainman-/Xifux) that portrays a small group of Colonial soldiers at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War seems particularly fitting for Independence Day. I’ve been sitting on it for a little while waiting for the right time, and this seemed to be it.

Mainman Valley Forge

I love the snow clinging to the tree.

Impending swim

This action-packed vignette by Harry Russell (Karrde) has so many neat expressions captured. He built this to showcase his new BrickArms rapier.

Karrde Pirate Tub

Also impressive to pack seven minifigs into about a quarter of the plate while still conveying a sense of motion.

Alice’s Toadstool Lounge

This vignette by Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) is just too beautiful and surreal to pass up.

This wonderful vignette entitled “Ranidaphobia” by Matt S. (Plastic Matt) expanded my vocabulary AND entertained.

I’m in the mood for vignettes apparently.

Every little thing he does is magic

Could be just a big blog-crush, but everything posted by Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) seems to be worth showcasing to the world. Simple and really creative.

Caffeine Desk

This latest vignette is apparently the result of “messing about” when Rod didn’t have much time to build. Rubbing in his skills.

Blaster Yoda

Somebody (Andrew) stole my thunder and mentioned this in a comment to another post a week ago, but I decided this vignette by Ken Robichaud (buriedbybricks) is still just too cool not to have its own entry.

Aaaah! Settling into the suds.

This vignette by Wojcietch Scrat was just too irresistibly silly not to blog.

Cole caught throwing up a piece

I’m fascinated by tagging, though I’ve never done it myself. And as a person who is well-aware of the impact it has on business people, property owners and taxpayers, I have really mixed feelings about featuring any tagging here. But this vignette by Cole Blaq isn’t at the expense of anybody else (I hope), is quite visually simple, clever and full of action.

Cole Caught

I’m really enjoying seeing tagging in the background of train and town scenes, because I don’t think I ever walk, drive or ride anywhere without seeing some tagging in the background. It adds atmosphere to an otherwise clean and blocky LEGO world.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m tired of being pushed around. Aren’t you?

Now how about a red LEGO stapler?

Check out his funny vignette by crises called The Blind Date, featuring the new cyclops head from the upcoming Space Police line.

Piotr catches some air

In his latest LEGO creation, Piotr Ślęzak depicts an exciting ride! That bike is really nice and the posing of the rider is top-notch. Nice job!
