icons
Few of my works become as popular online as my builds inspired by pop culture. I can understand why; after all, it’s thrilling to see a character, location, or vehicle from a story you love reinterpreted in bricks form!
I personally learned about the virality of pop culture builds when my Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith project reached 10,000 votes on LEGO® Ideas. Since then, my reproductions of other famous icons have been some of my most viewed, most shared work.
Reproducing a pre-existing character, place, or thing in bricks poses an enjoyable challenge. To capture the subject’s essence in the LEGO medium requires extreme deftness. I must make specific choices around color, shape, texture and scale with every model I undertake.
It’s just fun for me to create “brick-ified” versions of my favorite icons. Check out a few of them by following the images.
