Azumu depicts a romantic winter love scene with a touch of magical snowflakes. I like the form of the entire vignette, not to mention the feeling of the depicted subject. Even though the snow is cold, my heart absorbs the warmth of lovers being together.
Edit (AB): This is Azumu’s entry for the annual building contest held at Click-Brick stores.
I found the Saturday Night Live skit spoofing There Will be Blood a week ago highly amusing, but not having seen the movie yet, I never imagined the milkshake bit was actually in the movie (as I learned during the Oscars the next night)!
Sir Nadroj creates minifig versions of the entire cast (his Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday above), while Jordan takes a different approach by putting the characters in a vignette (below).
Finally, Graeme “Littlebrick” Allen reminds us that we missed James Morr’s “There Will be Bricks” (thanks Graeme!):
You’ve probably seen the paintings of surrealist artist René Magritte, even if you didn’t realize what you were puzzling over was by him. Uli Meyer has created a wonderful LEGO version of Magritte’s “Time Transfixed,” complete with a microscale train that’s great in its own right.
(Thanks for the tip, Tim David!)

As a sucker for LEGO puns, Marcin Danielak (Hippotam from Klocki) makes me el oh el.
The Clikits (since when do we have a Clikits post category?!) on the tree are a nice touch, as is the tiled floor and the truck shirt the dude with the wheel is wearing.
Building well runs in the Wunz family. Like his brother Chris, Thomas Wunz mainly builds castle creations, and it’s always a pleasure to spend time looking through all the details in Thomas’s medieval farms, mines, monasteries, and so on.
Thomas’s latest vignettes (entries for the Classic-Castle.com Storytelling Contest) don’t disappoint those looking for interesting details.
Be sure to check out the full photoset on Flickr so you can find out for yourself why the title of these vigs is so clever.
Literary LEGO will attract my attention every time, but check out the footprints in this vignette by Sir Nadroj (Flickr):
Now, if only I liked Longfellow’s poem as much as I like Sir Nadroj’s LEGO version of “A Psalm of Life.” Oh well, I blame Modernism.
While we’re at it, Sir Nadroj’s “whistle-punk” lumber mill also deserves a highlight:
Harrison (aka “Corran101”) submits four epic entries to the CC vig contest — vignettes inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.
Our hero Odysseus has many adventures. In no particular order (go read the book!), he battles the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis, rides a sheep out of a cave, does a bit of feasting with Circe, and fires an arrow through some axe handles.
Check out more pics in Harrison’s photoset on Flickr.
The Classic-Castle.com Vignette Storytelling Contest kicked off at the beginning of this month, and sets of four vigs are popping up all over the place.
Aaron Andrews‘ vigs are inspired by one of my favorite moments in the Monty Python canon — “Bring out your dead!”
(“I’m not dead!”)
After learning about a Halo vignette contest at Brickarms forums with less than a week before deadline, I impulsively decided to enter. I needed an idea, and what’s more dramatic than the final warthog run from the last mission of Halo 3? For those who haven’t experienced it, you are driving a warthog through an expansive and volatile surface trying to escape a giant explosion. Classic? You bet.
The warthog design is largely based off Legohaulic’s, with minor modifications.
Four names in the post title. I think that’s a first.
This may be more “meta” than I can handle, but Keith Goldman has joined Mike Yoder’s Fanboy Cover Contest with a micro’d version of Dan Hamann’s “Container Shuttle Craft”, and then Keith put a vignette of Ley Ward building a nano version of the C.S.C. inside the micro version’s container.
My head hurts. (Via MicroBricks.)
