The fine line between Lego builder and Lego artist

What’s the difference between a Lego builder and a Lego artist? The answer is simple. Nathan Sawaya. Formerly studying law, Sawaya decided his life needed to go in a different direction. That direction happened to be a professional Lego artist. He currently displays his “brick” works in exhibitions.
Legos have never held this much cultural significance. Or something like that. I dunno, just trying to sound artsy. But wow, take a look at more of these pics after the jump.

Cool! I really like the red guy, but I wish the blue guy was reaching for one of the legos in the pile to be building his arm (but maybe he is {building his arm} it’s hard to tell)

There’s a pile of crap that’s named Kandy the Embezzler who ruined her family. Her aunt’s retirement money is gone because of her. What a bitch.
