"Ho ho ho! Merrrryyy Christmas!!!"

Flickr user, Alfred jr, posted a photo of a FFOL building/fixing/sitting by a Lego Santa mosaic during LEGO Kid's Fest 2010 of Hartford, CT. I'm not sure if the woman in the photo is the Flickr user (I doubt it), but if anyone can I.D. her for me, that would be great!

Anyway! The mosaic is awesome. ;-D



"Ho ho ho! Want do you want for Christmas, Susan? Lego! Of course you do! Ho ho ho..."

** Thanks to Bruce N H for sending me the link to the mosaic. If you have a mosaic you want to see featured, email me at mosaicbricks (at) gmail.com

The Coolest MMORPG on the Web!

Since early 2010 (somewhere around March), I had the privilege of being a beta-tester for LEGO Universe. Not one of those people who's the very first person to try out the game, but I was still a tester very early on. I must say, watching the game develop from then, to now, has been a lot of fun. Seeing what I thought the game was going to be, to seeing it now is unreal. The minifigs for this game are insane! I thought you could had cool armor, but not awesome armor! Anyway, as the summer wrapped up and I got busy, I no longer could play the beta. I just didn't have any time, and then in late September, the beta finally closed. I'm not a full blown player, but I've seen some pretty sweet screenshots.

Anyway, in LEGOLAND California (I've been there once!), now has a brand new "Club House" that features LEGO Universe. Inside the club house, there's an awesome mosaic for the four main characters that represent the four different factions. Sentinel, Adventure, Assembly, and Paradox.

"Who lives under a pineapple under the sea?"

Flickr user, lights (and his wife), built the famous sea-sponge that swept the deep blue sea. (err...bikini bottom...err...world...or USA...)



"Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!"

"Holy, Lego Bricks, Batman!"

Mariann Asanuma, a fairly well known person with-in the community (She's a former Legoland California Master Model Builder, now freelance builder), made a large Lego Batman Mosaic back in 2008. From the MOCpages post about it, she says:

Hi all. Here is my most recent creation. Warner Brothers Interactive commissioned me make this mosaic for the LEGO Batman the Video Game Launch Party Event that was held at the Natural History Museum in New York City on September 23rd, 2008.

The mosaic is incredible with all the different colors and techniques, since it is, in fact, SNOT (Studs not on top).

Check out her blog here and the creation here.

Now, I am the Master...

Now comes the part of the blog, where I keep my promises and have shameless self-promotion!!! Hahahaha, when I formatted the blog and wrote the first post, I mentioned that I might even post some of my own mosaics here on MosaicBricks. Now, here's when I'm doing it.

No really, I just recently posted my Darth Vader Magnet Mosaic, a 96x64 mosaic of the Dark Lord himself based off a magnet I got at a Darth Vader Minifigure Speed Build Event at the Lego Store.



Check it out on...Flickr, MOCpages, and Brickshelf (When approved).

Now back to regular blogging! XD

"Would you'a like to try'a some pep'er'oni' pizza?"

One of my favorite minifigs heads (A favorite list that goes on for forever :P ), has to be this face(Not the exact one, but close), and Brickshelf user, vedorias, makes a 32x32 version of said head. The minfig's smirk is great.



"Maybe you'da like some spaghetti instead, aahh?"
