We've all been there. You know, at about 3 AM when you roll out of bed because you have to pee or get a drink or something of the sort? You stand up zombie like and begin walking to the bathroom or kitchen or where ever your final destination may be, and then, it happens. That jolt of excruciating pain in the sole of your cold foot, because you stepped on a lego.
As many of us have experienced this awful pain I'd consider comparable to a paper cut, we may have a dampened opinion on the popular child's toy. And that's what many see it as - a toy. But for Nathan Sawaya, he doesn't see toys, he sees art. A self proclaimed brick artist, Sawaya creates his creations completely out of lego bricks.
Once again, I find myself intrigued by the method for this lego art. The creativity in Sawaya's expression of art is astounding, and the intricate placement and planning of each brick is incredibly mind boggling. Another thing I find interesting in this type of art, is the medium the art is shown. Sure, we are familiar with art on canvas, glass or even through music or dance, but legos? Sawaya's creativity amazes me, and Im sure many will agree they feel the same.
