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.
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.
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.
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?
Peter takes a stand at Initech in this vignette by Duane Hess (Legozilla):
Now how about a red LEGO stapler?
He’s got an eye on ya
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!
A splash of color in a cruel world

Holocaust and torture depicted in LEGO
As much as I enjoy the robots, spaceships, and tanks we blog here on a regular basis, there are also those occasional LEGO creations that remind us that we’re part of a broader world — a world in which war is not fun and war is not play.
My brother and I went to see Schindler’s List a few months before I found myself standing in the silence of the Hall of Remembrance at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. Matija Grguric captures one of the most moving moments from the film in this vignette.
Though we haven’t featured her work before, Legofesto has been protesting the torture and abuse of detainees caught up in the Iraq War and “War on Terror” for several years (via VignetteBricks):
For me, LEGO has always been a medium for potential art, and art doesn’t shy away from the world we live in. There is beauty in truth, no matter how ugly the reality. In the very revulsion I feel about what I see depicted in these vignettes — heightened by the fact that the medium is a children’s toy — I find hope that there will come a time when humans rise above our own depravity.
If you feel compelled to do so, you’re absolutely free to engage in respectful, thoughtful (inevitable) debate in the comments. But this also seems like a good time to remind everyone of the Terms of Service. Racism, abusive language, and anything construed as bigotry will not be tolerated.
Playing with fire and summoning the undead...
…it’s what Kevin Fedde (Crimson Wolf) does to pass the time. Check out his scene called “Rise, My Minions.”
