Lego fun with Vue
Posted by Eliza Williams, 8 April 2011, 12:30 Permalink Comments (11)

Photography agents Vue recently dispatched a number of packs of Lego to creative folks across London and challenged them to build a unique new design with the plastic bricks. Here are some of the results...
As can be seen, many people have used the Lego kits to create scenes of violence and devastation, ranging from the smiling serial killer shown top, to Legodzilla below, who according to its creator was "the result of an experiment to imbue a Lego robot with genetic DNA, through artificial insemination with the seed of a poisonous Mongolian lizard".

Another participant seems to have used their Lego pieces to simply spell out their frame of mind...

Several though, have stuck to Lego convention, making planes and vehicles...


Not the entrant below though, who instead has created 'The Sir Alan: Contract Terminator Desk', complete with packaging.


Vue is inviting readers to vote for their favourite model on its blog, with the winner, which will be announced on April 15, awarded one of Lego's charming Empire State Building kits.
For the sake of impartiality, Vue is not revealing the names of those who entered until after the vote is complete. However, the models shown here have all been completed by creatives on the list below, maybe you can try and guess which model belongs to whom?

Those really are poor, and not really particularly creative. A reflection of the state of the industry and a crap martketing spin that CR shouldn't have given space to

Might Bill Turpin Prosthetic Make up be responsible for the first one?

Making 'unexpected' things out of lego is almost as hackneyed as designers making limited edition screen prints. Shame on you.

Overheard: 'Uhm... creative? Dad, that's a dude murdered in the first picture. How's that creative?'

Yeah this is pretty weak :(
In terms of photography and Lego there's a lot of superior stuff on the web more deserving of exposure:

For God's sake lighten up.
It was all worth it for "When you absolutely have to fire every useless motherfucker on the planet" – made me snort my coffee.
