Word on the street is that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are in ‘final negotiations’ to make Lego: The Movie, the ultimate tribute to the brilliant rebranded play thing. But, really, can they improve upon this effort already out there — The Deranged Lego Movie — by Legoreel? Only time, and a heaping of plastic fantastic, will tell.

These Lego salt and pepper shakers are a great stocking stuffer or kitschy joke gift, not so much for people who use a lot of salt and pepper. But hey, you can’t please both the kid and the foodie in everyone.

We love the new LEGO series, LEGO Architecture, which started as a partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to render six of his iconic buildings as LEGO buildings. Other famous constructions in the series include the Sears Tower, Seattle Space Needle and the Taj Mahal.

I’m really not that interested in cars, but this past week has had me thinking about them a lot. Then I came across this Supercar by Marvin G, made out of Legos, which features functioning ‘hand of god’ steering, full independent suspension, and gullwing doors, and I can’t help but covet it.

Illustrator/designer Christoph Nieman had a hit a while back with his I Lego NY project, in which he used Legos to illustrate iconic New York buildings, street scenes, and cultural touchstones. The rest of his portfolio is equally impressive, using visual one-liners to communicate complex ideas in simple and whimsical ways.

We love LEGO. And why not? It’s colourful, it’s fun, and it’s applied to a thousand and one different things these days, including this: Blokz Birthday Candles. Fit for the cakes of all grown kids.

Muji & Lego recently released a joint product that consists of a box of Lego pieces that also comes with sheets of paper — with a particular hole-punch (not included), the paper and Legos can be combined into some cute creations. Read more

I’m not sure if owning a USB Lego Mouse would be the ultimate indicator that you are a hopeless manchild, but for those who are obsessed with the classic Danish construction toy, this would make a great holiday gift. A true Lego maniac would build his or her own mouse out of existing Lego pieces, though.

There are a hundred and one different uses for Lego. This collection by fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, In the Sky with Diamonds, which debuted during Paris fashion week, is just one of them.

Nathan Sawaya creates art with lego bricks, creating fun, colorful blocks of large-scale sculptures. He started using lego bricks in his art early on in 2000. Mythbreakers wanted to see if they could make a large large ball and roll it down the hill without it breaking. But they didn’t have enough lego pieces, so they called upon Sawaya to supply them with lego bricks. Mythbusters tried rolling it down the hill, but it didn’t roll straight and broke apart before it hit the car. Sawaya advises to use glue.
We love the work of Los Angeles-based artist James Jean, so we tracked him down for an interview: Your work is very dramatic and rich in narrative. From where does the initial seed of any idea generally come from? ‘It comes from a combination of conscious decision-making and deep rooted memories and desires. Sometimes I start with a very clear idea, but inspiration is rare — usually I’m working out ideas through little thumbnails that mysteriously evolve into their own stories’. Read more

These psychadelic, almost epileptic pixel gifs are so ingeniously simple, and yet I find myself in a trance I can’t escape whenever I check out the latest art on Lulinternet. Read more
Why should the devil have all the good music? Finland’s Holy Blood is a great folk-black metal band by any standard, but its horn-raising tunes are all for the glory of the Good Lord rather than Satan or Odin. What would Jesus do? According to Holy Blood, he’d ride through the forests drinking mead and slaying non-believers.
If on a picture perfect summer’s day, you find yourself wishing for a blizzard, something is wrong. Very wrong. But don’t panic, this weather preference has nothing to do with hatin’ on sunshine, and everything to do with an infamous leather bomber jacket from Claude Maus. It’ll have you hooked with its luxurious soft leather, stitched front paneling, Italian wool lining and the very necessary detachable hood. If you’re somewhere cold, then chances are you’re nowhere near this Australian-based label. So if you’re looking for a push in the purchase direction, it’ll be pleasing to know that the Aussie dollar ain’t doing too good. Gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘investment piece’, doesn’t it?

Minimalist cool meets urban grunge. This is Upper Metal Class, fine metal jewelry inspired by architecture, construction, math and science. Upper Metal Class already scored major points with their chic every-day friendly line, but there’s a major bonus to the brand: they are uber-environmentally conscious, constructing all goods from recycled metal in a wind-powered studio.
