Yesterday you saw the real butterflies at Naples Botanical Garden.
Here is a large Eastern tiger butterfly made from 37,481 LEGO bricks.
Through mid-May, the Naples Botanical Garden is exhibiting 15 large
LEGO brick sculptures designed and constructed by
Sean Kenney, a LEGO certified professional.
Awesome. Lego skills have really changed since I was kid.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is an other great job !!
ReplyDeleteand the work is a real piece of art, and patience..
Something like that takes a lot of vision, talent and patience. I remember seeing a huge LEGO development in the Mall of America in Minneapolis a few years ago. It's amazing what can be done with these things!
ReplyDeleteMy sons had legos. I never contemplated trying to make a butterfly out of legos.
ReplyDeletewow, isn't that amazing! we went to legoland before we moved from ca and it's just so incredible what they can do with legos!
ReplyDeleteEvery kid I know used to have Legos, but none seemed to manage this kind of artistry.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great exhibit. I think I would enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous, Jack!
ReplyDeletePainting the utility boxes is a city-sponsored project which hires individual artists to paint the murals in an attempt to prevent graffiti and also to promote street art.
A good advertisement for Legos. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis one is really my kind of butterfly!
ReplyDeleteThat is taking Lego to a new dimension. Wonderfully photographed. Love the setting too!
ReplyDeleteMy grandson would flip over this. On the other hand, I think he has more fun leaving them all over the house for the pug to eat!

This one is gorgeous, but I prefer the real butterflies.
ReplyDeleteThe Lego revival is incredible.
ReplyDeleteLego has always been an obsession of mine, even past my younger years. I can appreciate what kind of work and planing must have gone into, to create this.

impressive!
ReplyDeletei always liked playing with lego but i never produced anything like this....
Now that's a creative idea. I think of LEGOs as static. They're just blocks. But here they almost literally take flight.
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice. The Seattle Experience Music Project had a room devoted to reproductions of skyscrapers made with legos. We were underwhelmed; compared with this one even moreso now.
ReplyDeleteFrom the thumbnail alone, you would never guess it was Lego! Incredible! (Love your college story:)
ReplyDeleteNice piece of art.
ReplyDeleteVery creative indeed! Your posts of the butterflies are beautiful... love the Zebra.
ReplyDeleteBises,

Amazing how Lego has evolved, right?
