Over the last several weeks I have been working on my first commissioned LEGO mosaic. A sign for the company I work for, Sogeti. It was a fun experience. One in which the whole family, minus Kael, was able to assist with.
This is the first mosaic that I have built that was glued. It was interesting trying to put the thing together and not ruin the whole sign. I was able to snap a few photos while the mosaic was being glued together. You can check them out as well as the finished product, here.
I received a request to post some pictures of my unfinished tattoo. So tonight I “forced” Amy into snapping a few. You can see them, here.
I will be heading back to Big Brain Productions on Monday so that Joshua can get everything finished. Fun times!
A good friend of mine is getting married in California later this year and has asked me to be a part of his wedding. I am very happy for him and his future bride and cannot wait to celebrate their union.
Thinking of the logistics on how we will manage a trip to California, my loving wife brought something to my attention. She told me that San Francisco is only ~7.5 hours away from Carlsbad. When she said this, I looked at her with my deer-in-the-headlight look and said, “huh?”. She then proceeded to remind me that LEGOLAND® California is located in Carlsbad.
Well, I was happy when my friend told me he was getting married. I was honored when he asked me to take a part in his wedding. Now I am stoked that I actually might be able to swing a trip to LEGOLAND® also!
Wow could this trip get any better.
I’ve sent the following links around to several people, but am getting requests to keep the links here.
So for your viewing pleasure check out the 35 mm LEGO camera and the Medium Format Pinhole LEGO camera over on found photography.
My November LEGO Shop at Home catalog arrived the other day. It has a LEGO ornament on the cover. LEGO does not sell the ornament. So I decided to make my own. I took a quick stab at it, but the kids were not cooperating so the model is not complete and needs some refining. Once I get some “free” time I will post the finished version, but if you are intersted, here is the unfinished LEGO ornament, and a picture of it.
Well I just discovered Bricksaic. I wish I would have discovered this before I finished the Autobot and LEGO logo mosaics.
Oh well I will use this for the Sogeti logo.
I am finished creating a mosaic of the LEGO logo. I still need to go through and tweak the pieces but for the most part it is done. Here is a picture of it.
I am wrapping up a LEGO Autobot Logo mosaic that I created in MLCad. I still need to tweak the pieces a bit, but I think it looks pretty good.
As of now, I do not own enough red and white pieces to make this mosaic a reality. Hopefully that will change soon.
Update: I have finished the mosaic. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Update: Here is a picture of the mosaic for those of you that are interested.
