Lego's are one of the reasons it is good to have a son....well he thinks he's outgrown them, but I loved getting him those complicated Lego sets and us putting them together.
A great benefit of having a son is you can get him all kinds of toys you want to play with!

I was wondering while I was looking at this - apparently has to manipulate the legos to make some of his shapes and he comments about having to chisel his finished piece...
so basically he makes a lego piece, then "carves" his finished image...
whats so special about that? ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he's paying 150-200 grand a year for lego, I can't imagine what the sculptures are bringing in...
Good for him...takes a lot of talent to learn how to make raw shapes, much less being able to transform inspiration into sculpture like this
Thx, Ronzo

I think the part you were reading about him chiseling was a hand sculpture he made incorrectly. He had to chisel out some pieces he had already glued in to reshape it.
I doubt he'd get paid if they weren't whole LEGOs on the finished product.

I wonder where he gets all the odd shaped pieces then...

I can hardly wait for my son to grow up enough to play with them.

It looks like he used the square pieces to make them look odd.

I don't see any odd shaped pieces that aren't Lego's - with all the sets available now they aren't just squares and rectangles.
Very creative!

These sculptures are amazing!! Have you ever been to Toys R Us at Times Square in NY? They have a whole section of one floor that is Lego art. There's a huge King Kong, a Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, etc. I don't know who did them, but they're really cool.

All of this out such simple and seemingly insignificant components.
You want to see something really amazing you should see what Jesus can do with nothing!
You my friends are evidence of his ability and some of his most prized works!

My wife has told me at times I'm too rough on the kids, I tell her "Your job, Honey is to nurture them, my job is to get the ready for the real world" :killinme:killinme:killinme:killinme
