Well, twas the days after Christmas and frankly, I am BEAT and life is pretty anticlimactic, whatever that is.  Mama and papa went off with the small anthros to see something called The Art of the Brick by a man who makes all sorts of amazing things out of Lego plastic pieces and here are some of the things they saw.  Pretty amazing…

Michelangelo’s David, but isn’t there something missing here, haha?

Man with huge pencil.

Papa talking with Blue Man…hmmm. I think those kids know better.

Lovely still life, all Lego.

A lifesize man and

And kids were invited to create something from three or four bins of lego toys.  I wish I had been there!  Scratching around in all those plastic pieces would have been HEAVEN!

One guess what THIS is!!! Actually it is copied from the famous cat of Samothrace.  This guy copies Rembrandt, Vermeer, van Gogh and others. Pretty amazing.

image

From a self-portrait of Rembrandt.  They don’t actually photograph too well, in my opinion.

But you can see more here.  What an amazing man to have left being a LAWYER.  YAY!!! Not to offend any lawyers out there, but I think he is very fulfilled by this choice of vocation.

He probably makes as much having fun as he would have being the brunt of so many jokes, haha.
