Mosaics Round-Up

I think when I continue to post here, it will be a quicker sort of post, more of a round-up of mosaics instead of a focus on just one. 

First off:  HispaBrick Magazine Issue 016 is out.  Free LEGO magazine!  Yay!  You can find it here:

Secondly, mosaics:

 I don't think I ever posted Josh Wedin's cool mosaic of Captain Picard.  I was waiting till he got it signed by Patrick Stewart at the Emerald City ComiCon. 





Ryan H. (eldeeem) made a cute little Pikachu, and had to wait for the snow to melt before photographing it outside:





Robin Sather, Dave Ware, and the people of Calgary built this 5 ft. x 6.5 ft. mosaic "Visions of Calgary": 





And I thought this "wall sculpture" by Joshua (Igginz) seemed pretty cool.





And finally, check out this awesomely decayed sign that Evan B. (Lego Junkie) made for his Call of Duty diorama:

Batman!

Batman seems to be everywhere, these days.  First, here are a few Batman mosaics.  Josh Wedin and Dave Ware made very similar ones; one main difference is that Josh's mosaic has the studs pointing to the right, and Dave's has them pointing up (towards the head).  The changing orientation makes slight differences in how the mosaic turned out.  I notice differences especially in the lettering, and also in the face.

Batman was also hanging out around BrickCon this year, too.  Here's half a Batman mosaic, hanging out next to the Super Friends Hall of Justice, made by VicLUG's Ryan Willougby:

Over in the Art/Mosaic/Sculpture section, Bruce Lowell won an award for this 3-D Batman mosaic.  The colors and shapes make for quite the brooding ambience.

One of the highlights at BrickCon this year was this amazing Bat Cave, by Wayne Hussey and Carlyle Livingston.  It's not really a mosaic (though I see some yellow lines we could pretend are mosaics, if anyone wanted to be picky about it), but -- wow!

And lastly, here is a photo of the new upcoming LEGO set, Arkham Asylum.  Once again, not very mosaicky, but look!  Stained glass windows!  And gargoyles too!  (Though, sadly, not the peeing kind.)
