King Of Legos


Recently there have been many creations with Legos, but this post isn't about a gadget or a cool art piece, its about the KING OF LEGOS code name Brick Artist. His real name is Nathan Sawaya and he is one of the original creators of the lego movement.

Bio From Brick Artist Site
"Some artists use paint, others bronze – But for Nathan Sawaya he chooses to build his awe-inspiring art out of toy building blocks. LEGO® bricks to be exact.With more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York studio, Sawaya’s sculptures take many forms. Sawaya’s art is currently touring North American museums in a show titled, The Art of the Brick. It’s the only exhibition focusing exclusively on LEGO as an art medium. The creations, constructed from nearly one million pieces, were built from standard bricks beginning as early as 2002. A full-time freelance artist, Sawaya accepts commissions from individuals, corporations, and … well just about anyone with a good idea! He’s also available to design and build custom creations at events, photo shoots and conventions.So let Sawaya know what you have in mind, there are literally no limits to what he can create out of LEGO."
