Can LEGO be sexy? I say this is evidence in favor of that. Meet Miss Izzy Orchard, a steampunk creation by Pate-keetongu. I can honestly say that no matter how many times I've looked at the minifigure ruff, I've never thought "garter".
““Series E Defense bonds! Each one you buy is a bullet in the barrel of your best guy’s gun!””
The Cap doesn't mess around when it comes to supporting our troops, and JaredChan doesn't mess around when it comes to outstanding building. There's so much to love in this diorama, the bunting, the eagle, the dancing girls and of course Red Skull's sweet ride. But for the me the stand out is the stars and stripes shield, awesome.
As you know I rarely feature digital models. Not that I have anything against virtual building, I use LLD and Brickforge all the time. But I only use them as a design tool, building always follows. That being said I cannot resist this MOC of one of the greatest vehicles ever, the Death Mobile from the classic Animal House. And it really wouldn't have been complete without Bluto, nicely done mmbace.
My good friend and Bricks Of Character cohort Iain Heath is back with another stellar MOC. From everyone's favorite anthropomorphized equestrian digitally rendered animated entertainment series My Little Pony comes Fluttershy and Discord. You can see these in person at Emerald City Comic-Con this weekend along with everyone's favorite British accented caffeine powered bipedal creative plastic brick arranger, Iain.
Tachikoma have many uses beyond the obvious military and law enforcement applications. I doubt the care of grade school children, theater usher or pool lifeguard will ever make the list. But hey, trash collector? Why not? This build and photo by Galaktek is brilliant.
LEGO fan, snarky humor and awesome art liking t-shirt wearers take notice, the new Tee Fury shirts are now available. Get yours now because they won't last!
UPDATE: Told you they wouldn't last. Apologies for the semi-broken link, but it doesn't matter any more, they're gone!
Star Wars and sci-fi fans usually have a good sense of humor. And when Spaceballs came out in 1987 we all enjoyed watching our favorite movies get mocked. A stand-out character was Dark Helmet, played by one of my all-time favorites, Rick Moranis. This version by customBRICKS is excellent.
I was just asked at Starbucks the other day where I got my shirt, and of course the answer was "Tee Fury" (seems like it always is). Well, Tee Fury is at it again tomorrow, and you can score yourself one of these fine examples of textile awesomeness. Stay tuned for the link!
Talk about awesome, this StarCraft 2 siege tank from drakmin is so well designed, built, photographed and edited that it looks more like box or concept art. But no, it's an actual MOC and it's totally badass. Yes, it's been around for a while, but this picture is new so I don't know if I'd call it MOCstalgia or not, hmmm. Check out the video as well, sweet!
Feast your eyes on this! Just last Tuesday we were treated to the Kingdom of Renroth, now POCKYLAND is back with another absolutely mind-boggling build. Not only that, but another build called Renerrost slipped under the radar since then. I wish I have more info to share about these amazing builds, but you'll have to be content with with the total jollification of eye candy. Do yourself a favor and click through and view some high res pics, enjoy!
One of the creepiest characters of Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece Pan's Labyrinth was the pale man. The fairy-eating, food-hoarding guardian of the blade. It's no secret I worked on this film, as a matter of fact, I created the pale man's palm eyeballs (the digital ones). It's great to see him in brick form thanks to the efforts of twice-blogged-in-one-day The Deathly Halliwell.
Spoiler alert! Yup, it turns out Darth Vader is Luke's father, none of us saw that coming. I can clearly recall seeing this in the theater with my grandmother (bless her heart, she didn't know what was going on, "now, that's the bad guy right?"). I also remember nearly dropping my Milkduds with this revelation. Nice build and photo storm TK431.
If I could figure out a way of making the classic Zelda "you got something cool" musical sting when you view this I would. Builder Baron Julius Von Brunk has mashed up LEGO mosaic and classic Lite-Bright to great effect, using LED strips to backlight Link with the triforce. Check out Instuctables to see how it's done.
Talk about epic, just look at this! There's no details or description, but really do we need them? The pictures speak for themselves. This is top notch building, beautiful photography and excellent editing. Click through for many more pictures.
Another co-conspirator on the secret animation project is James Morr of SpastikChuwawa fame. His latest video features a familiar mascot. Check it out.
I am quite honored to have a key member of Brotherhood Workshop, Kevin Ulrich, working with me on a super top secret animation project. While I can't share any details of that (yet) there is a new video from LEGO and Brotherhood Workshop on YouTube. Enjoy!
I'm a drummer. Well, I guess I need to elaborate on that. I have a Roland electronic drum set, and I make noise with it on occasion. It's actually been a while, but I'm seriously considering moving it to my new studio where I can rock out with my headphones on. So the first thing that I noticed from this awesome MOC and pic by MikeVD was the drum set. But the whole thing just rocks.
Sometimes when inspiration strikes, you just don't argue. Take for instance this camera by the great Carl Merriam. Sure it was late, sure he was supposed to be going to bed, then the sun was coming up and this beauty was on his workbench. Sleep is overrated really.
