Who’s the Architect?: Scenes from Inception in LEGO
Friday, August 6th, 2010These vignettes by Lego artist Profound Whatever faithfully recreate the tone, scenery, and coloration of Inception, and beautifully captures the movie’s spirit of, “Hey, lots of pretty things and fast-paced deployment of convoluted logic will distract you from the plain fact that none of this makes any sense, ok?

I would have guessed something like 10 million Legos and 87 really hard-working Lego geeks, but my powers of estimation pale in comparison to [...]

Thursday, April 1st, 2010I’d like you to meet this hypnotic, robotic artwork featuring Mario repeatedly knocking his head against a coin block.
Or, the best use of a LEGO Mindstorm set since the Mindstorm toilet-auto-flushing robot.
Mister Doug Quinn of KS City, constructed this awesome robotic wonder of awesome. The bead art is the creation of … [...]
