I'd like more art in my life. More color. More texture. More . . . LEGO?
Yes, you read that right. LEGO.
My husband and I recently attended The Art of the Brick exhibit by LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya, and we were totally blown away. Who knew you could do all of the following - and much, much more! - with LEGO?

Made up of almost 4,000 pieces, this is Sawaya's Lego version of Munch's The Scream. (Hmm, this looks a lot like me on a bad writing day.)
*****
Speaking of writing, this next one is called Writer and is made up of about 3,000 pieces.

At 80,000 pieces, Dinosaur Skeleton is, according to Sawaya, "...one of the largest sculptures I have ever made...After seeing so many kids flock to my first solo exhibition, I wanted to give something back and create a sculpture that children would enjoy. What is better than a dinosaur?"
*****
Grasp, made up of about 17,000 pieces, totally creeped me out. So, of course, I loved it.
*****
And because I live in Florida . . . Flip Flops (about 700 pieces.)

Do you enjoy going to museums, exhibits, shows? Are you drawn to any particular style or medium? Are you artistic? Do you dabble, like I do, by taking an occasional art class, picking up one of those crafty, creative magazines?
