The United Way and Monster.com held a holiday party for 1,300 underprivileged children. I built a big LEGO snowman with the children, and provided tens of thousands of LEGO bricks for them to create their own little masterpieces.



The snowman sculpture was fairly basic in form, since it needed to be built in under 3 hours. When complete, it used about 4,500 LEGO bricks and stood about 2 feet tall.

Kids had fun attaching their own creations to the snowman, like hats, droids, and icicle snow boogers.

This miniature trophy was created for the winner of the 2007 Sharing is Participation community contest.

The small LEGO sculpture features a golden (...yellow) trophy, backdropped by a three-dimensional interpretation of the CommunityGuy.com logo. Realizing the logo's two-dimensional three-point-perspective is too much math for an artist, this interpretation came as a stroke of frustration-wrapped-brilliance.

Today I finished my first non-human LEGO portrait. (Unless you count my self-portrait; people do accuse me of being from Mars.)



Like most dogs, this adorable friend is about 2 feet tall and contains over 3,000 LEGO bricks.

Zara the amazing LEGO dog also knows plenty of tricks, like "sit", "play dead" and "get bumpy". And Zara sleeps at the front door to protect yourself from barefoot burglers in the night!
