Besmirching Squirrels: Lego Art

Lego Art

I randomly stumbled upon this the other day. I wish I had though of doing this myself. Legos were my favorite toy as a child (adult too?), and I am a fan of black and white photography. Why not combine the two? And for added measure, why not recreate memorable moments captured on film (like Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile).

The detail he is capturing is amazing. Not only are the figures are in the right place, but the lighting is just right. I am not sure who he is, outside of a Brit with a great sense of humor.

I have linked his full collection on the side (right after problems solved by MacGuiver), but the Lego Classics series is below. Be sure to click on the photo of the actual event to compare the two. Be sure to check out his recreation of the stand off with the tank in Tianamen Square.

Enjoy!

Last time I was carded:

Fulton Brewery

Minneapolis, MN

I was meeting friends out. I cam in with one younger friend, who got carded, then me. I asked if they carded everyone. He said no, "only people I think could be in their 20's". Oh happy day!

Smoky Mountain Brewery
Knoville, TN

I was traveling for work, and I was told this was a good brewpub. The food was okay, the beer was good, but the highlight was getting carded and getting a "I thought you could be close enough to check, hon." Yep, sometimes I miss living in the South.

Minnesota State Fair
St. Paul, MN

I was carded getting beer before the Weezer show. I didn't ask, but I thought they were carding everyone, until my friend Anne (who is younger than me) didn't get carded. It's a bit grey (like me), but I am going to say this one counts.

Tavern on France
Edina, MN

Was carded by the waitress before going to see "Tron: Legacy" on opening night (judge me if you must; I don't care). I checked to see if she carded everyone; she said she thought I could have been close. The streak continues....

Block E
Minneapolis, MN

I asked and I was told that she was not checking everyone. She thought I could be close to 21, but I think she was being nice. It was Friday and I think she read the stress, and I think she was doing this to be nice.
