Making Lego Into Art: Nathan Sawaya's Impossible Brick Sculptures

For anyone else annoyed by the continually re-positioning "next" arrow, using the keyboard right-arrow seems to work.

Every third image skipped back to the first when trying to use the right-arrow.

And the next image was missing half the time.

I did not make it to the end.

I saw this in Sydney. I kind of hated it. What we have here is someone who drops a hundred thou a year on Lego and builds realistic 3D sculptures by gluing the pieces together into suspiciously realistic computer-generated forms.

It would have made mediocre art in any other medium, and it's not actually Lego building (if you're gluing the parts together). Meh.

Nathan Sawaya's are is currently being exhibited at the Magic House in St. Louis, Missouri. I am hoping to go this week.

Saw this in Singapore a month ago. Clever and interesting, though I thought the commentary alongside the work wasn't very deep. Worth checking out if it's easy and affordably priced.

Who cares about this DIY person, have you even heard of LegoLand?

While this is really cool, how is this HN material?

Sigh.
