The many moods of Dane Cook

I will never give up on these things. Never in a kazillion years. Unless you pay me.

Self-proclaimed comedian Dane Cook has many moods, as shown in Oblong Picture's newest film. These really are light work. Or 'γW'. LOL, you just got science pwned.

Udronotto: The Last Supper

Mr Pece, or Udronotto , brings us one of Da Vinci's finest works: The Last Supper. Only this time, it's in Lego. Pece excels in recreating the Last Supper, with his clever textures and integration of plasticine. One to remember.

Nightfolk preview

I love this Bulky metal robot suit, "Nightfolk Preview", which I found on the Brickspace Flickr group. It was created by wunztwice, and you can see it on Flickr by clicking here.

Brickspace Dictionary: AFOL

AFOL (abbrev.) (A·dult Fan Of Le·go)
'AFOL' is an abbreviation used to describe an adult Lego fan. Pronounced in one of three ways ('ey-foll', with 'ey' as in 'hey'; 'afol', with 'a' as in 'apple', and 'AFOL', pronouncing each letter), AFOL is a commonly used Internet Meme that has sparked many slight variations, from TFOL (teenage fan of Lego) and FFOL (female fan of Lego, though many FFOLs do not like the name as it implies that they are separate from AFOLs. AFFOL (Adult Female Fan Of Lego) is sometimes used instead.).

The AFOL community is a sacred place in the Lego online community (LOC). AFOL groups and forums are usually not viewable by other fans of Lego, but those that are (like the LUGs) are very welcoming. AFOLs are usually very sociable and are responsible for most, if not all, of Lego conventions. Different countries have different types of AFOLs, who conduct conventions and social events in different ways.

Thanks to Doctor Sinister for the checking that all this is correct, and advising me to put in the separate meanings and the note about FFOLs.



Udronotto: Circus

Many of you may have seen this picture around the net - it's become very famous and I think I even saw it in the Indiana Jones Video Game. Well, I looked it up and I've found Udronotto , an Italian art student / artist (hey, I'm not that multilingual) who specializes in mosaics and Lego reconstructions of famous paintings and film scenes.

So, as our first venture into the world of Marco Pece / Udronotto, I bring you a brilliant circus scene, silhouetted against what is probably tracing paper. The scene has a lovely sepia tone to it. Definitely more to come!
