Nathan Sawaya: The Lego Lord
How many of you played with Lego blocks when you were young? Do you impress your children with all the cool designs you can make with their Lego set? To avoid hurting your feelings, you might want to put the set away before reading this post.
Nathan Sawaya gave up his job as a full time attorney to become a full time Lego artist. Take a look at some of his creations.

Geez this guy’s good. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go and see what I can make out of a bag of potato chips

Holy crap
The Iwo Jima statue is particularly impressive. Can’t even imagine the time it takes to do that.

My kids saw the images and said “do that dad!” … I should ground them for a year

This guy is amazing. I’ve seen a lot of his work on Digg before and he has to be one of the most genius lego designers in the world.

Yeah, yeah…but can he blog with them? I don’t think so!

@listikal:
He’s probably making more money now than he was when he was an attorney.
Yeah, the guy’s just too good.
@Mark:
Aha! You made me feel a lot better now. Let me tell that to my kids

Imagine that…making money with legos. What’s next? Lite Brite?

This is probably what they said about blogging:
Hehehe

Hahahaha…you’re probably right

building up masterpieces like that takes time! i admire his patience and hard work.
@brown baron, lol. i think he can make money out of his lego creations. A Mona Lisa replica perhaps? Bid starting at 10,000,000. It’s possible. There will be some out there who are crazy enough to spend money on these kinds of things.

Wow, cool stuff! Love the computer replica!

@Karlo:
I agree. The possibilities with his talent are endless. A Lego Mona Lisa replica sounds good
@Mariuca:
Did you know he even made a working one? It’s in his gallery

A working Lego computer? Lol. It is indeed possible. Such creativity!

[…] Nathan Sawaya: The Lego Lord(Brown’s Thoughts) - I saw this Lego designer quite a while ago on Digg, but the Baron just reminded me of how incredible he is. He has some photos of some of his incredible work and a short blurb as well. […]
