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
woman!
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.
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.

Don’t forget poetry…
Those are really innerestin’ LouLou. Da woman’s not very uh, well, purretty tho’. MOL But hey, what do ya’ expect from a lego woman, right?. Like you, shufflin’ ’round in all dat plastic does sound like fun. Big hugs to all.
Luv ya’

Yeah, the lego woman was not a beauty, haha, but the kitty was pretty cute. Wish I had a Lego bin….sigh.
OMG!!!!!! Those Lego sculptures are INCREDIBLE!!!!! Who could have imagined such possibilities with Legos??? Well, that guy was smart (AND oh so talented) to have given up law for his passion – hanging out in galleries and museums for inspiration has to be more fun than being in a courtroom!!
And, Loulou, your Vampira look in that closing shot is uncredible!!!!! BRAVA!!!!!
Hey, you, too, can get those shots. Just hang around Mya all day until she yawns, haha. Maybe reading my blogs would help.
It amazes me the things people make with legos.
I know, and mama says it’s really FUN. But you can eat them, boo hoo.
That is sure different. Wouldn’t have realized one could do so much with legos.
I’ll bet all of the Funny Farmers would have a BALL in those Lego bins.
