Have you heard of Chris McVeigh before? Well, he happens to be an author, illustrator, and photographer, all rolled into one, and even better is his latest effort that will see famous characters from the universes of Star Wars, Transformers, and Futurama being brought to life with the help of LEGO – which would once again underline the unique manner where such building blocks that used to remain under the domain of kids’ toys being used in such a creative way, opening up new worlds of possibilities along the way.
McVeigh used the LEGO.com Digital Designer, which is a free consumer CAD tool that enables him to bring his pieces to life. According to McVeigh, he gained inspiration to work in this direction after a friend decided to work on 4×6 marker sketches of popular characters. After mulling over the possibilities, McVeigh himself sketched Wolverine using nothing but LEGO pieces instead of a pen. How else would you make use of LEGO pieces in an artistic manner, and do you think that such attempts will eventually end up in a museum of modern art somewhere around the world?
