While we are in the midst of inventory at the gallery, it’s nice to take a break and learn a bit more about one of our favorite commissions, courtesy of Andre Veloux @andreveloux • Posted by @andreveloux andreveloux • The Golden Girls - Set of four portraits plus detail shots Each 20”x 20” Lego 2020 • One more post of the @goldengirls - Sophia, Dorothy, Rose and Blanche together with some close up shots of the details and 3D structure of the works. • To answer some of the questions I frequently receive, the portraits generally take 2-6 weeks of design time depending on how it goes. Creating the actual works themselves takes 1-3 months depending on the size and how much @lego I need to order in. And yes I do buy a lot of Lego from the Lego company, but with long lead times on their brick buying service I also use @bricklink for both convenience and some of those hard to find bricks. • @legalhotel @parlorgallery @goldengirls • #asburypark #goldengirls #art #portrait #parlorgallery #bettywhite #beaarthur #ruemcclanahan #estellegetty #thegoldengirls #lego #legoart #portrait #legostagram #portrait #legoportrait #goldengirls #thegoldengirls @thegoldengirls4evr (at Asbury Park, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYpfjERJ6n3/?utm_medium=tumblr
During the later years of the Clone Wars, many clones talked about retirement as a reward for their service, but few knew what it entailed. Indeed, the Republic planned to retire the clones, but neither the government nor the clones knew what that meant. If a soldier brought the subject up, their commander would often put an end to the idle chatter. A few forward-looking clones contemplated work in corporate security or consultation with local militaries owing to their lack of civilian job skills, and their accelerated aging process decreased the likelihood of them learning and mastering such job skills before they died. However, strong loyalties to the former Republic created a moral quandary when it came to security work, as retired clones would possibly be fighting some of their former brethren. . 📸 Lego Star Wars 7250 Clone Scout Walker / Clone Trooper Episode 3. . 👉🏻 Tag a friend! 👉🏻 Feel free to share ✌🏻 👉🏻 Follow @lego_sw_headfirst . . 👍🏻 Some accounts I love and follow, check them out! @mj_plo_koon / @folcollector / @minifigz_central / @panelsandbricks / @smallafol / @tacoxtl / @darksiversoul / @_revenge.of.the.bricks_ / @legoschnitz / @interstellar_brix / @bricktrooperstudios / @brick.25 / @star_wars_minifiguras / . . . #Legominifig #legocollection #afolcommunity #legophotographer #toyphotographer #legomacroworld #legoportrait #minifig #レゴスターウォーズ #legominifigurescollection #Legoart #Lego #StarWars #LegoStarWars #LegoMinifigs #Minifigure #Disney #legostarwarsminifigures #starwarslego #legofrance #theclonewars (at Kamino Planet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYE60bfrDm7/?utm_medium=tumblr
I am obsessed with “Wolfwalkers”, the latest animated feature out of @cartoonsaloon and hands down my favorite film of 2020! I stumbled upon an empty shadowbox frame and so intended for my next LEGO project to be a mosaic with which to fill it. I guess this turned out to be more of a brick sketch; the depth lent itself well to overlaying the wolf shape over Mehb’s face. This was a daunting challenge and like most, I considered it a failed attempt and nearly abandoned it not too far along. Creating faces with LEGO parts is ridiculously difficult and always looks a little weird, and Mehb is already a pretty wild character to try and capture. However, I had several of those gold tail pieces on hand and the shape of the wolf pretty well envisioned, and just had to keep going to see if I could realize the vision. I’ve included some WIPs showing my idea board for reference and the initial base shape of Mehb’s face before finishing with the Wolf overlay and greebled leafy bits. I’m pleased with myself for not only finishing something but getting it done pretty quickly, having not spent much more than a day building. I had some ideas for better parts and connections, but limited myself to what I had on hand. Anyway, the frame is now being put to use and one more bit of wall space will now be occupied with an homage to some brilliant filmmaking! #lego #legomoc #legomosaic #bricksketch #legosketch #legoportrait #legoart #popculture #fanart #wolfwalkers #animation #animatedfilm #irishfolklore (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXYgZ2pPsw/?igshid=1eou60bptrqqo

Painted a portrait of my son as a LEGO minifigure.

🧐 One of the most endearing character of Rogue One in my opinion. Bodhi Rook was a human male from Jedha who served as a cargo pilot for the Galactic Empire prior to the Galactic Civil War. After defecting to the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 0 BBY, he fought alongside a group of rebels during the Battle of Scarif. . 📸 Lego Star Wars 75156 Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle / Bodhi Rook. . 👉🏻 Tag a friend! 👉🏻 Feel free to share ✌🏻 👉🏻 Follow @lego_sw_headfirst . . 👍🏻 Some accounts I love and follow, check them out! @mj_plo_koon / @folcollector / @minifigz_central / @panelsandbricks / @smallafol / @tacoxtl / @darksiversoul / @_revenge.of.the.bricks_ / @legoschnitz / @interstellar_brix / @bricktrooperstudios / @brick.25 / @star_wars_minifiguras / . . . #Legominifig #legocollection #afolcommunity #legophotographer #toyphotographer #legomacroworld #legoportrait #minifig #Legophoto #legominifigurescollection #Legoart #Lego #StarWars #LegoStarWars #LegoMinifigs #Minifigure #legostarwarsminifigures #starwarslego #Minifigure #legocommunity #RogueOne #legofrance (at Scariff) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXO2hrKoORp/?utm_medium=tumblr
