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.

Snowblowerman rides again, now with a leaf blower

As autumn gives way to winter in New England, Mike Crowley gives us another Snowblowerman vignette. This time around, our hero wages battle not against flakes but against leaves instead, thereby earning himself a new nickname — Leafblowerman.

Naturally, there’s also a potential love interest:

Through the wormhole with Rocko

In his latest vignette, Rocko summons a wormhole and sends a Viking charging through it to medieval Japan. Yeah, I’d be surprised too.

Obi-wan Kenobi’s trophy room

Dave Lartigue (Dave Ex Machina), writes:

While looking for the bathroom in Ben Kenobi’s home, Luke accidentally wanders into Ben’s trophy room.

Can you spot all the references in Dave’s vignette?

Door to the mind

Flickr user Crimson Wolf shares a piece of his mind in a surrealist vignette accompanied by rhyming poetry. Don’t think I’m the only one with “issues.” Get a glimpse of the dark side of the mind and read the accompanied writing.

One stormy night

Alex Eylar really knows to how to conjure up an atmosphere with his photography techniques. Check out the professor’s lab and his mysterious device, brought to life by the ambient lighting and the amazing sci-fi realism in the details.

Our previous statement suggesting that we would not monitor this chamber was an outright fabrication.

Alice’s Adventures in Alex Eylar’s LEGO Wonderland

Alex Eylar (Flickr) has built a series of scenes that reinterpret Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland with a decidedly modern twist.

Here’s the quote on which the scene above is based:

She was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

To see several more scenes from Alex’s LEGO Wonderland, check out his page on MOCpages or his Flickr photostream.

Do all frogs go to heaven? Joris Blok believes they do.

Joris Blok‘s little vignette is both funny and touching. When you ran over that poor frog while driving through the Okefenokee last June, is this what happened afterward?
