More then just a child's toy

Legos have grown to be much more than just a toy for children.  The potential that is withing a pile of legos is unbelievable, and what people have done with those piles is absolutely extraordinary.  Pushing legos past just simple buildings and cars, current lego artists are creating fine arts projects and grand displays.  From the Taj Mahal to Alfred Hitchcock, to M.C. Escher's sketches and Van Gogh and even a life size car.

There is even Lego Land, the mecca for lego enthusiasts, that draws millions to see the grand statues and experience all the fun that lies within a simple rectangular brick.

    Wonderful presentation. Have never gotten that creative with Legos, but such a treat to see what others have done. :)

    Wow that is absolutely amazing! Guess I wasn't so creative as a kid after all. Nice job.

    Legos have come a very long way since I was a kid.
    I always spent more time with Tinker Toys, I never could have imagined so much could be done with Legos!

The Art of the Brick

The Art of the Brick - The Pictorial

Amazon Price: $23.40 (as of 05/27/2012)Buy Now

"The Art of the Brick: The Pictorial" is a soft cover collection of photos of some of Sawaya's most amazing sculptures and portraits; all created out of standard LEGO(R) bricks. His most iconic sculptures are featured including "Yellow", a yellow figure who appears to be ripping himself open as plastic bricks cascade out of the chest cavity, "Blue", a blue figure that is either building himself out of LEGO, or maybe taking himself apart (only the artist knows for certain), and then there is the 20-foot-long tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur skeleton created painstaking from more than 80,000 tiny bricks that lives on the two-page spread near the back of the book.
