It’s hard to describe the impact of this man. His imagination and talent brought forth a tsunami of creativity and escapism to generations of people. From the early days of the fledgling comic book company Marvel to the behemoth of the Marvel cinematic universe, he is one of the handful of people that were the start of it all. His influence was the spark for so many creative people now, and will be for the foreseeable future. From young artists learning to draw right now, to aspiring filmmakers, to artists working in other mediums, like bricks. Builder vincentkiew has crafted this fitting tribute to an incredible man, Stan Lee. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Of all the intricate pieces Lego builders have at their disposal, perhaps the most ironic one and the one we take for granted the most is the piece separator. It is a highly valuable tool that can spare your nails from extreme pain by separating those two 2x2 plates that have spent an eternity attached to one another after a child decided they would fit nicely together. This speeder by Inthert perfectly illustrates a wonderful use of this often forgotten piece that creates a fascinating shape. Let’s just hope the speeder doesn’t feel the wrath of the piece separator mid-flight! Original linkOriginal author: Andrew E

Builder Mike Dung is back with another stunning video game character. This time it’s Jeanne d'Arc Alter from the Japanese game Fate Grand Order. And this is the part where I say I haven’t played it, and have no idea who this is, like I always do. I don’t care, she’s gorgeous and that flag is pretty awesome too. It looks like the product of a graphic run through a mosaic program, but the results were then broken into slats and hinged. the results are an eye catching and unique feature.

Ahh, Paris, the city of lights and love. In this wonderful depiction by Markus Rollbühler you can almost hear the sound of the cafes and see the Eiffel Tower rising above the buildings in the distance. The smell of fresh bread and coffee fills your nose as you walk past a bakery and as you walk over a bridge you can hear and smell the Seine, which is not a pleasant as the bread but is almost as beautiful. You walk past a restaurant and… wait, is that a rat cooking? It must have been your imagination. After all, Paris is a magical place. Original linkOriginal author: Andrew E
