Tim was raised in the wild by giant lego turtles, and is skilled in the arts of annoying John and Luke, and finding the best lego creations on the net. He holds the world record for eating only cabbage his whole life, and the large amount of fibre causes him to pass wind constantly. He has only posted twice on the Brickspace blog, and no one knows how to contact him as he now works for the mafia and has gone into hiding because he is America's no. 3 most wanted. Many say he's dead, but John sees him regularly, and has not commented on whether he is dead or not.

More Lego Escher


Ah, MC Escher...a master of illusion.Ah, everyone on the internet...masters of copying Escher's illusions into...into...Lego?
Woah, this is MC Escher's stream illusion. The tower on the left goes down in a rather odd way! The secret, well, I think it's the second tower: the water gutter bends down, then up again. very nicely done.

Jumbo Genius

Mega LEGO
Ah, this guy's got talent. This is a jumbo-sized minifig walkie-talkie, probably 1:8 or 1:10 scale. There's loads more types of complicated bricks that this guy's made in jumbo, but I like this one the best.

iPhone comparison

Hey, I love the iPhone, so why not in Lego? Here it is side-by-side with its aluminum-and-glass cousin. I'm not sure which one I prefer...
Oh, also, I like the way the whole lego iPhone has remained studs-up, apart from the home button of course. This is much better than that Lego iPod that's been circling the net.

I gotta get myself an iPhone some day...

Escher goes Lego


Now, this creation has been around the net for ages, and so I'll show it to you as the third post. Escher was a brilliant artist who made complex illusions, like the stairs that seem to always be going down. This creation is great ... it just rocks, really. Well done, whoever made it. Also, try and work out which way up it goes ... hmm ...

[Gold 03.08] Sculpture of dissolving man


This is a picture of a series of sculptures, made by some swedish lawyer who quit his job to become a lego artist. He was in the Volvo magazine recently...
This sculpture is great, with the pile of bricks at the bottom and falling out of his chest to look like he's leaking or dissolving or something.

LSW Republic Cruiser


Wow, this is a huge creation. No worries, it was released at Celebration III by proper Lego Master Builders. Surprisingly, the sides of the RC are normal-studs facing up, instead of studs facing sideways.
