Update: Beginning of School and Stuff...

Hey everyone,

Here's another update. I'm three weeks into school now so Lego and most 'fun' activities are now hitting the backburner for me. Who knew being a high schooler could be so hard...

Anyway, I'm just saying that the irregular posting might happen every now and then more so. I'm going to try and keep it at having only three days between posts at the most, although I'm going to try and post more often than that, of course.

I have two more interviews, very exciting ones, on the horizon for mosaicbricks which has got to be one of the most fun parts about this blog, so stay tuned for those. They'll be up in roughly a week as I finish and format them (although there will be a space between the two so they're not sandwiched together).

Thanks for reading!

"Neeiigghhh! Neeigghhh!"

Mocpages user, Viorel Birsan, creates a majestic, black and white mosaic of a stallion galloping in the wind. The great part of the mosaic is that the image conveyed in such a small area, but still looks really good.

"I want my Mummy!"

MOCpages user, shay hovell, creates a great mosaic of King Tutankhamun of Egypt. I'm pretty sure that he only used around less than 5 colors which is incredible.

"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.

Lego Logo Mosaics - Part 1 - MOCpages

There's a strange thing about Lego mosaics. Most everyone who's ever built one (a mosaic) has probably built a 32x32 mosaic of the Lego logo itself. But! For some strange reason, every single one is slightly different in their own each, unique way. You can tell that maybe the letters L-E-G-O or slightly slanted one way, than another.

But that doesn't mean they don't have anything in common either. Most everyone also includes the black border of the logo, which probably shouldn't be there, considering it's so small compared to the rest of the logo.

It's very strange how one little 10 inch by 10 inch image made out of little plastic bricks can be duplicated and replicated by almost everyone.

Anyway, I have searched far and wide all over the internet for as many mosaics I can find, and here's a giant gallery for you to enjoy. This is only MOCpages' ones though. There would be way to many in one post if I did Brickshelf, and Flickr too (at the same time). Although most are 32x32, some aren't, by the way.

See if you can pick out those subtle differences!
