Life Sized LEGO Portrait

This is one of the amazing offerings by LEGO Jedi Master Nathan Sawaya: a life-size three-dimensional portrait, done entirely in LEGO bricks! Sawaya actually offered custom LEGO People through last year’s Neiman Marcus holiday catalog, for $60,000 each. But if you missed out on that great deal, you will just have to do it yourself, I guess. :-)

As a mother who has stepped on her share of sharp, pointy LEGO pieces left on the floor by her children, I can’t help but wonder where Nathan Sawaya keeps his bricks. I hope he remembers to clean them up when he’s done!

    I’ve been cleaning up Legos for a while today and still the floor is an endless sea of bricks. What a love-hate relationship I have with these little Danish bits of misery and joy.

    That’s just plain awesome. And a bargain at twice the price. ;)

    Yeah, it makes us wonder where he keeps all his lego bricks. and do they ever get lost?

    Clever idea, but also totally pointless. I can’t see what I’d do with all of those block…. my kids would just disassemble the thing.

    Wow! What a project. I actually really like the generic Lego bricks that can be used to build (obviously) everything. My son’s room is filled with all those specialized pieces that have to go to a certain spaceship or rescue ship!

    hate it when my kids leave sharp-edged Lego bricks on the floor but being a Lego freak myself I let it slide.

    That is certainly something to spend your money on! It looks very good and people would be talking about it for ages.

    That is so incredible. I’ve definitely stepped on my fair share of legos but I’ve got to say they can provide hours of entertainment. I actually saved the legos from my oldest son and gave them to my youngest (they are 15 years apart) and my youngest has thoroughly enjoyed them. I’ve actually had a great time find build instructions from the original legos my oldest had building things for my little guy.
