Builder Showcase - Nathan Sawaya

Builder Showcase - Nathan Sawaya

The highlight for me of San Diego Comic-Con was speaking on the BrickJournal: LEGO as an Art Form panel with Nathan Sawaya, Brandon Griffith and Joe Meno. Nathan was especially entertaining and informative on the panel, and let's face it, the real star. He was well-spoken, charming and everything I'm not. He's also one of, if not the, greatest brick artists in the world.

Enchanted Flora And Morning Monsters

First blood has been drawn in the latest Iron Builder. This round pits Siercon and Coral vs the Brothers Falworth, and it should be a good one. The seed part is a flexible green spike.

Enchanted Rose

Siercon and Coral were first with this rose from Beauty and the Beast. No, LEGO doesn't make glass domes, get over it.

Good Morning!

Not to be outdone, Mark of Falworth gives us this nightmare. Personally I think the teddy bear isn't afraid, teddy bears are our secret protectors.

Opee Sea Killer

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and also to look at some elements a whole new way. The first time I met builder Norbert "Norby" Labuguen  we were both displaying at Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND CA. Norby brought this creation and stunned me. I had never considered Bionicle, Hero Factory and especially Galidor pieces particularly useful. Norby changed all that for me, and continues to amaze me with his MOCs. This isn't the greatest picture of his Opee Sea Killer, but you get the idea, it's awesome.
