I love the practice of designing a real-life object in LEGO®. Capturing the essence of something real using a limited palate of bricks can be a challenge; but if done right, I also find it can be quite rewarding.
I believe that attention to detail carries off this genre of build. Upon discovering a “perfect detail” in a build, something which echoes life just so, people experience a distinct moment of recognition that brings them tremendous joy.
To me, one of the virtues of brick art is its inherent playfulness. To manifest a real-life object or scene in brick form is to show it with a child’s fresh eyes, and to remind the viewer that their world can be full of wonder.
Follow the images to get some of that wonder for yourself.
