Obessive Lego Sites

I don't know what it is about those little colored blocks, but all over the web you can find them. Pictured above: a scene from The Brick Testament, a very loose interpetation of Old and New Testament stories, illustrated with - what else? Legos.

Other obessive shrines to the popular kids toy include:

The entire original Star Wars Trilogy illustrated scene-by-scene with the blocks and figures.

Incredibly intricate sculptures by Henry Lim that include a portrait of my all-time faves, The Beatles - in a piece that consists of 20,000 of the little colored blocks, as well as a fourteen foot dinosaur, a bust of beethoven and various other monuments to pop culture icons.



Another hardcore Lego builder, Eric Harshbarger, actually makes a living doing the stuff, the grandfather clock above is made entirely out of lego materials and keeps accurate time for 13 hours before it's weights have to be reset. He has a lot of other dope lego creations showcased on his Lego Pages.

For more on the geek-preferred artistic medium of expression, check out the Lego Users Group Network and of course, the Official Lego Page.
