LEGO building is an art form, and PartParakeet reminds us why with a build that would be equally in its element in a modern art museum sculpture as on a LEGO blog. Real art prompts thought and introspection, and this build does just that. There’s a good chance you were in a similar scrolling position when you came upon this post (I was), captured here with Insectoids legs sprawled out on the floor. While scrolling through incredible LEGO builds is one of the many benefits of technology, not everything we’re exposed to online elicits a positive response. It’s become far too easy to get sucked into a cycle of doomscrolling through endless negativity and injustice. As with any piece of art, what you take from it is what matters. I’m taking it as a reminder to put down the phone more often. The results of too much consumption often leave us...

The Trojan Horse is one of the most famous stratagems in history. A wooden horse, seemingly a work of art, is left as a gift at the gates of the enemy city. They bring it inside, and under the cover of night, a team of soldiers exits to siege the city by surprise. Isaiah Durand pays tribute to this sneak attack with this build that makes surprising use of a few unexpected elements. Obviously we appreciate how the use of crates and barrels give the horses leg the feeling of real woodwork. But the Technic half-pins acting as the styled horse mane was what really caught us off-guard. The post A clever build of a brilliant deception appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and Daniel Olvera is celebrating with this amazing rendition of Benny the Bull from…I’m sorry, I’m being told the Chicago Bulls didn’t make it to the Super Bowl this year. Wait, you’re telling me the Chicago Bulls don’t even play football? Okay, I’ll confess. I don’t know sports. But I know LEGO, and the work that’s gone into Benny here is championship level. From the natural pose to the brick-built jersey number, this bull is the GOAT. The post Three cheers for this amazing mascot appeared first on The Brothers Brick.

Brickscalibur is the annual LEGO castle building contest hosted by RogueBricks each winter. Challengers can submit builds across a range of prompts tied to the medieval age. The grand prize each year is the coveted “Dragonslayer” title, which goes to the builder with the best overall set of builds. The great sages have concluded their evaluation of all 194 entries in this year’s tournament, and the results are in. This year’s Dragonslayer is the Croatian builder Simulterius, a first-time participant in the event, who impressed with six creations that demonstrate incredible range. From expressive character builds with novel parts usage, like this sage sultan with the brilliant balloon turban… To immersive scenes packed with detail and drama, like this impossible medieval mission. Each build demonstrated excellence with a distinct twist. It’s no wonder Simulterious earned the crown! But Simulterious isn’t the only builder to earn the favor of the Round Table....
