We’ve discussed my exceeding oldnessness on this blog a few times. For instance, I remember when there there as only three channels, and the remote control looked a lot like me, because it was me. I remember lawn darts, pong and Star Wars action figures being “new”. And I remember a time before all these magnetic mediums by builder Cha Mi, and their inevitable demise.

Being October, and especially being a week away from Halloween, scary images are everywhere. Some are from classic stories, some are from books, some are from tradition but the really cool ones are from movies, like this creation from The Shining by builder timofey_tkachev. It’s an iconic moment, when Jack uses an axe as an alternative door knob (r in this case, a brick separator). Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Donovan from Once Upon a Workbench is my kind of nerd. He’s a maker, a good dad and an excellent storyteller. You need to check out his YouTube channel immediately, it’s packed with all kinds of wonderful nerdiness including these life-size LEGO Ninjago golden weapons. While I’ve never been much into Ninjago, I can appreciate it’s appeal, and I can certainly get behind making cool stuff for your kids. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Right about now you’re wondering who this is, so was I. Normally about that same time I’m thinking about the research I’m about to dive into so I can share this with at least some knowledge. But I’ll spare you the google, this is an original creation by Eero Okkonen, no deep dive necessary. If you want to learn more though there’s a ton of pictures and description on Eero’s website, and it’s an absolute treasure trove let me tell you. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

He’s one of, if not the, most recognized and famous comic book villains in the world, Batman’s titular nemesis Joker. I almost said “popular” but I find it difficult to use that term for a raving psychotic, even if he is a favorite among fans. And builder ZetoVince must be a fan to dedicate this amount of care, time and effort to this incredible bust. The contouring, shaping and color use on this is outstanding, making it one of the best characterizations I’ve ever seen in bricks. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
