So that's where J K Rowling got the ridiculous idea to turn one of her characters into a shark in the Goblet of Fire...

All I can say is... oh... my.... poly wants a cracker! Well deserving of a frontpaging on EB.

I simply love these brick mosaics based on real life works of art.

Lego Mosaic - Starry Night by alanboar

Lego Mosaic - Girl with a pearl earring (Vermeer) by alanboar

Here is the Eurobricks topic where you can see the process of how the MOC artist, alanboar, put together the "Girl with a pearl earring".

Amazon recommended a new book for me about Lego art by lego sculptor Mike Doyle.  

 

Beautiful Lego

 

The cover of the book is of his world Odan.  His website for the project is mikedoylesnap.blogspot.com.

 

 

Or take a look at this one: www.thisiscolossal.com/2011/09/lego-victorians-mike-doyle/

 

 

I think it would be great to have a list of all the great Lego Sculptors out there.

 

I would also like to add Sean Kenney. www.seankenney.com

 

 

I know there has been a smattering of cool work throughout the forums, but maybe we should collect it here so we can all be amazed.

That Victorian house looks absolutely stunning!

Is it ever. My jaw littery dropped. Simply amazing!

All of those are amazing. I especially like the bike, since I am currently working on building a circular shape/curvature.

The Lego art is amazing. There must have been a lot of time and dedication that went into those artworks.

The Victorian House is simply stunning.

If you are a real fan of MC Escher's work like me then you may love to see this rendition of a classic work of art known as "Relativity" in Lego.

I also found this one for the mind perplexing "Ascending and Descending".

Ascending and Descending by Brett Jordan

Excellent pick, TOK. That guy does so much trippy stuff... tessellations, mind boggling staircases, etc. In the spirit of optical illusions, here's a good ol' penrose triangle:

 

I'm confused...

Mind- boggling. I think I know how it works.

Photoshop!

Photoshop!

Maybe.  But I saw a pic of a penrose where the picture is taken at such an angle that the triangle seems to be connected, when it is not connected at one of the points.  I'll see if I can dig it up. 

 

Here it is.

 

 

 

 

 

There's an article on Brothers Brick on them: http://www.brothers-brick.com/2009/01/10/build-your-own-penrose-triangle/ If you look closely at the top corner you will see it is slopes not actually connected as segreto said.

 

The one I posted earlier could be the same method on the left corner (something looks fishy there) or it could be photoshopped.

I was looking at that corner originally, and I noticed that something was fishy right away. Never knew that the angle of the picture taken can affect how you see something. I learn something new everyday.

To continue to deviate from the topic (oops), does anyone remember these?

Yes....

Optical illusion at its finest. Check this out on the "Ascending and Descending" MOC by Andrew Lipson.

Appears to connect all around just like the original drawing when in fact....

it does not. Brilliantly planned build with the perfect camera angle equals incredibly amazing illusion!

Hehehehe, this bust is freakin' sweet!
