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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.
