Making of the 3D LEGO Chalk Drawing

Created for the Sarasota Chalk Festival in Florida, this amazing mashup of Legos and Terracotta warriors is magnificent in every sense of the word.

Founder and Director Peter Westerink told My Modern Met that it took a team of four artists - Leon Keer (design and art production), Peter Westerink (himself), Remko van Schaik, Ruben Poncia - five and a half days to complete it. "We started on Tuesday morning November 1st and finished on Sunday November 6th in the afternoon," Westerink says.

Star Wars Emperor's Arrival Scene In Lego

Using 400 LEGO minifigures and over 30,000 Lego pieces, designer Jay Hoff recreated the memorable arrival of the emperor scene from Star Wars for Science Discovery Day at Berkeley Preparatory School in Tampa. Everything picture above is made from LEGO, except for the starfield, which is hand-painted poster board.

The only concessions he had to make were mixing in Clone Troopers with the Stormtroopers to save some money on the budget. He also inserted Darth Maul and added the right wall in Photoshop for better viewing.

Creepy Lego Victorian Houses by Mike Doyle

In his series Abandoned Houses, artist Mike Doyle created three spooky abandoned Victorian houses out of LEGO bricks: the TwoStory with Basement, the Three Story Victorian with Tree and his latest, Lego: Victorian on Mud Heap. His blog contains quite a bit of information and photos on how he made each of these fantastic pieces. See more of Mike’s work in his Flickr stream.

For me, this piece speaks to the inherent unpredictability of those things which we call our foundation. Like a little dollhouse, a seemingly secure home is plucked up and set on a new path. This charming home, lovingly embellished with ornamental fancy was no match for nature. The fancy embellishments serve as a reminder of our earlier focus on the material world, while the aftermath removes us from that focus. The piece offers no answers or necessarily any hope, but rather points to life’s fragility.

15 Famous Photographs Recreated In Lego

The recreation of events have been achieved in many media formats from photographs to movies but in this post, we showcases something a little different. Each of these Lego setups recreates a famous scene, yet are just as easy to recognize as the original piece, showing that Legos are just as culturally relevant to adults as they are to kids.

LEGO Posters of Summer Blockbuster Movies 2011

This is a gallery of this summer's blockbuster movie posters with the characters rendered as LEGO minifigs. Old Red Jalopy did an outstanding job of making them relevant by creating this summer's blockbuster movie posters all in Lego-style. They're so well done, they'll make you wish the movies were actually done in LEGO form!
