Building under Piece Constraint and The Nightmare Before Christmas

Mocpages user, Mark B. , shows it's possible to construct a great looking mosaic without all the pieces in the world.

This small Darth Vader was made entirely out of pieces found at a Pick-a-Brick wall at a LEGO store. This helps though when you work at a Lego store, of which Mark does. How long it took and how he designed it is a mystery. ;-D

What's not a mystery is his admiration and obsession for The Nightmare Before Christmas movie by Tim Burton, as displayed by two of his creations. The first one is a humongous eight feet tall and four and a half feet wide mosaic of the characters.

Of which this mosaic certainly uses a greater variety in pieces than the Darth Vader one.

And second, we have the Night"mare" stand that features several mosaics and working parts.

If you'd like to see anymore of Mark's creations, check out his Flickr here, his Mocpage here, and the creations featured here, here, and here.

'Tis the Season to visit Dentist!

Put on your Halloween costume and head out to collect succulent amounts of dentist drawing delights! It's that time of year for carving pumpkins and watching the Charlie Brown Halloween special! A time of Lego mosaics!

I've collected five great Halloween mosaics from across the web and assembled them for a very special MosaicBricks Halloween post.

First up, we have a double feature from eilonwy77 (Katie Walker). Two cheese slope mosaics, one a neat little spider on top, and a cool jack-o-lantern on the bottom.



Second, we have a scary face with a ton of different colors by DJ Baggadonuts.

Third, we have another mosaic by DJ Baggadonuts that will forever haunt me. ;-D



Fourth, we have a very creepy mosaic from the "Phantom Zone from the Superman I/Superman II films". Regardless, it's an awesome zombie looking mosaic built by Reasonably Clever Chris (Doyle)

Lastly we have our fifth, and final mosaic of the post. Frankenstein's monster, forever haunted by fire, is built beautifully in a cool technique in which you built SNOT vertically and horizontally at the same time. It looks awesome! Built by Legohaulic.



Happy Halloween! Have fun everyone! Try and beat my record of 30 lbs. worth of candy (2005)! :-)
