Recreating reality in Lego

Got on Boing Boing again. Indeed, with the same picture I got onto Boing Boing with a good 5-6 years ago!

Geek never looked so good

Chris McVeigh is one of the best Lego artists out there, and this article, although short, at least gives a few examples of his outstanding work.

Minifig Famous People #22: Steve Jobs on Flickr.After a long gap in my series of minifig famous people, I wanted to do a tribute to that master of the keynote and purveyor of shiny electrical equipment to a a grateful public, Mr Steve Jobs, as he resigns as Apple’s CEO.

Boulder Hill in Lego Made by Orion Pax on Flickr, this combination of Lego with one of my favourite shows as a kid is like a whole array of Proustian rushes rolled into one. He’s done some other great MASK stuff too, like this version of Gator. Looks like there’s more to come too! (via)

GodBricks: Interview with Brendan Powell Smith

Great interview with the creator of The Brick Testament. Part 2 is here.

Thomyk 109: WikiLeaks

As the title would suggest, there’s much blathering about Wikileaks, although I also recap on my problems with Clairol’s advertising campaigns and talk rather aimlessly about some films I saw, whilst making something out of Lego at the same time. Will the wonders never cease?

Inception - Character Poster #1 by Alex Eylar  I particularly like how he went about getting the glasses to tilt. Check out the set up shot.

Clytaemnestra  Great scene from Jojo (…) on Flickr, showing not only some great building techniques, but some familiarity with Greek myths. Aeschylus would be proud. (via)

Afro Karate Guy by Chris McVeigh  Not only is this shot just utterly fantastic, but it’s worth looking into the set-up shot to see how it’s done. There’s no photoshopping involved.
