LEGO Thumb Tattoo

Our favorite LEGO artist, Nathan Sawaya, never ceases to amaze us with his awesomeness. Sawaya has shown his devotion to the art of LEGO in the most heart-felt way possible. His new LEGO tattoo disguises his own thumb as a LEGO brick, with ink etched into his skin to create a 3D illusion of brick goodness. Nathan says, “What better way to pay tribute to my medium of choice, than permanently inking those marks on to my thumb?” Indeed. To... Continue reading

Five-Foot Tall Blackberry Tour Made Entirely Out of LEGOs and a Flatscreen TV

Iconic LEGO sculpture Nathan Sawaya is at it again, and boy does he know his audience. We’ve discussed how Sawaya proved to us the fine line between LEGO art and LEGO play, but he’s just taken it a step further with his newest creation – a five-foot tall LEGO model of the Blackberry Tour 9360. But don’t worry, Sawaya didn’t cheap-out on the display. In fact, he integrated a large flatscreen TV into the model to simulate the screen of... Continue reading

LEGO Fire Skull: Fewer Bricks Than You Might Think

Bricks aren’t the only neat buildables offered by LEGO. The LEGO flame attachments have their own little sub-culture of fandom, as seen through this awesome LEGO Fire Skull built by resident LEGO pyro Billy McGill. If your friends are more of the death metal-type, they might not be all that impressed with other styles of LEGO modeling. But this skull is a creation fit for the pit of a Slayer concert.

Come and Knock On Our Door: Famous Sitcom Sets Recreated With LEGO Bricks

It’s the shows we grew up on. The one that taught us our values because our parents were too busy drinking and slapping us around. The one that taught us that even average American’s have family values. The one that taught us that even senior citizens have a sex drive. Wait… what? Yes, it’s some of our favorite sitcom sets, recreated through the wonder of LEGO brick art. According to Flickr user, On The Set, each set took about two... Continue reading

LEGO Twitter Fail Whale Swims With The Fishes

Flickr user tveskov and LEGO design extraordinaire, Bjarne P. Tveskov, admits to cheating a bit when he created his Twitter Fail Whale LEGO design. The brick which features the beloved whale’s eye was originally yellow. Tveskov did a little color reworking with Adobe. Like that really matters? This thing is plain awesome, shopped or not.

Pandora: Open Source Gaming Console

Sheesh. What the fuck is this brick? I know I start my new construction job next week but I didn’t expect to be subjected to these kinds of materials. Apparently this thing can not only be used to lay down the foundation of a building, but also for open source and retro-gaming. It has an 800×480 pixel display, a bunch of retarded buttons and Linux. Sounds good enough for playing old SNES and Genesis emulators, but why not just pick... Continue reading

The New Rubik’s Cube Means New Frustration

Unless you’re one of those crazy Rainman-like guys who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute, then the cube has caused you some sort of frustration or grief at one point in your life. Well, this new Rubik’s Cube appears even more difficult than its predecessor. Without colors on any side, the only leeway you get is from the varying sizes and even that will probably throw you off track.  On top of that, to create even more... Continue reading

Spinning LEGOs Produce 3-D Blobs

Three-dimensional printing is tough. That is, if you don’t make one out of LEGOs. Gene Hacker posted his creation on Instructables: a 3-D printer made out of LEGO bricks. It’s still in its infancy of development but is more than capable of rendering 3-D blobs of frosting. Unlike regular Cartesian system printers, the one Gene built operates in polar coordinates, in other words, a circular motion of printing. When asked why he didn’t build a Cartesian system printer (similar to... Continue reading
