The colorful surrealism of Dr. X
As much as I love the work of our resident surrealist, TBB reader Dr. X demonstrates that phantasmagoric LEGO creations need not be monochromatic.
About our first featured photo from Dr. X, he writes:
The dynamite represents water, and instead of fish, there are slimy rotten hands. Hands are very easy to catch, but the only bait they will bite for is sparkplugs or lit matches.
Click through the photo below for the caption to “Imbogorian Flying Bloodfish” — if you dare:
Your Leftovers hate you too
Nolnet has tapped into the universal angst surrounding leftovers. Little did you know that they feel it too…
That fridge is incredible. Why don’t I ever think of things like this?
UPDATE (AB): Moritz has added instructions for his great little refrigerator:
SlyOwl channels his inner Escher and builds an expressionist castle
Echoing the works of M.C. Escher, as well as German Expressionism, Sly Owl‘s lopsided, sinking, crooked, all around messed-up castle is colorful and appealing in its craziness:
Also check out the other side of the diorama, featured a wonderful house that uses minifig flippers as roofing shingles:
Also a bonus, here’s a vignette of a poor soul getting sucked away by a twister:
Getting into trouble with Marcin
Proving that bloggers do build now and then too, Marcin “Hippotam” Danielak enters the Colossal Castle Contest VI with “Double Trouble”:
Check out Marcin’s post on Klocki and see all the pictures on Flickr.
Crashin’ in
A very trolly Christmas to you all!
Even trolls enjoy trimming the tree and roasting, uh, marshmallows over a roaring fire, as Aaron Andrews demonstrates in this vignette:
The floor and rug are beautiful, and the shield above the fireplace is a nice touch.
Madness ensues at Rocko’s medieval market
While we all eagerly wait for the release of 10193 Medieval Market Village next month, we can enjoy the fruits of Rocko‘s labors:
For the “Act of Chivalry” category in this year’s Colossal Castle Contest, one of Rocko’s signature “Leians” rescues a bunch of unfortunate lads, their savior astride a glorious pegasus:
If you’ve built something of your own for the Colossal Castle Contest VI, don’t forget to submit your entry.
The Weighted Companion Cube cannot speak...
…but I think we’re legally obligated at this point to blog all LEGO creations inspired by Valve’s Portal.
Victor Vitale‘s contribution to the genre includes the best Portal gun yet:
Previous Portal love on The Brothers Brick:
- Our previous statement suggesting that we would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication.
- The Weighted Companion Cube will accompany you throughout the test.
- Please note that any appearance of danger is merely a device to enhance your testing experience.
- Thinking with Portals
But c’mon people — where are your LEGO Left 4 Dead creations? Get buildin’!
Sami Swoi vignette
Marcin (Hippotam) makes a vignette from the Polish comedy called Sami Swoi featuring two neighbors fighting by the fence where Pawlak cuts his own shirts and Kargul breaks his own pots. What I love about the scene are the incredible and realistic details such as the fence, the roof, and I’m always a sucker for brick walls made with tiles.
Star Wars nativity scene
Flickr user Larry Lars presents the nativity scene with a twist, adding Star Wars characters to the mix. Hilarity ensued.
