Lego Art

Yes, I know I just posted ---- here, have some quick-and-dirty surrealness to tide you over between other things:

On Flickr, someone is recreating famous photographs in Legos. Like the flag raising at Iwo Jima, Lunch atop a Skyscraper, hippies putting daisies in rifles, etc. They're really cool; go check them out.

("The Unknown Rebel," Tiananmen Square, recreated)

Tip from an art blog watching LA events and galleries.

Also Lego-related, if you haven't seen The Brick Testament before, you should totally go look at it. The site originally stated that it was portraying all the weird, crazy, inconsistent, f'd-up stuff in the old testament that everyone avoids talking about. (I notice that this description isn't up there anymore.) The picture below is from one of my favorite Brick Testament stories, the story of Dinah.


Also, as a side note, I am very sad I am in California and not Boston right now, because there is a Velazquez and El Greco exhibit at the MFA. I am sorry to miss it! Anybody want to fly me out there and squire me around? It's times like these when you need a sugar daddy, sigh.

If you have any other cool Lego site stuff, or any other art stuff in general you think I'd like, leave me a link in the comments.

Phone Sheep

Swamped right now; will report later.

But just because you're busy doesn't mean you're too busy for art. You look like you need some wonder and surprise. So if these shots intrigue you, go here for even more sheep pics to ponder. (they're much larger and nicer quality on that site, too.)

Baaaaaaa-ring! (which is nothing at all like boring, I'd say.)

Seriously, though, how cool is this? ---- I've added a bunch of arthistory blogs to my reader, to become a more well-rounded cog, and so I'll try and post about cool art stuff more regularly from here on out. Toodles.
