Spooky I never imagined LEGO and Steampunk actually worked together, but Radiant Kestrel’s yacht proves they make a deadly combination.
As you might have already figured out by checking some of my previous posts, I love LEGO and steampunk, so I just had to post some photos of Kestrel’s amazing LEGO-Steampunk yacht, for y’all to see.

November 3rd, 2009 Spooky So you think you’re the world’s biggest Super Mario fan, eh? Well, I don’t care how many Mario games you’ve played, or how many Super Mario items you have used to decorate your room, you can’t be as big a fan as Dirk VH.
The man proved his love for the world’s most popular video-game character by building his biggest replica out of LEGO bricks. Using 40,000 LEGO pieces he created a 5-foot, 9-inches LEGO statue that weighs 50 kg. And the most amazing thing about his masterpiece is that it looks absolutely amazing.
The “Game Mania” pedestal took 25 hours to make and the actual Mario statue, was finished in 160 hours. The whole process took Dirk VH 16 hours to complete. Now that’s a real Super Mario fan!
Check out the high-speed making-of video at the bottom.

November 2nd, 2009 Spooky Nathan Sawaya, a 36-year-old former lawyer has stunned the world with his incredible LEGO artworks.
If giving up a successful career in law that paid a six figure salary, to follow a childhood dream doesn’t spell passion, then I don’t know what does. That’s exactly what Nathan Sawaya did, but he managed to build himself another career brick by brick and now he sells his LEGO masterpieces for thousands of dollars.
Right now, Nathan has an inventory of 1.5 million LEGO bricks to use on his sculptures, at his New York studio and says his largest artwork was made up of about half-a-million bricks. His LEGO works are now as valuable as they are beautiful, selling for more than $10,000 each.
After posting his early work on the internet, Nathan Sawaya started getting orders for his art and realized the huge potential of his work. Now he has even created a piece for Donald Trump. he believes there is nothing he can’t create out of LEGO.
This isn’t the first time Nathan Sawaya’s work has been featured on Oddity Central, we posted some photos of his amazing LEGO cello, a while back.
