WOW... while checking out some of my favourite blogs...
The "Brothers Brick" posted this... http://dunechaser.blogspot.com/2006/07/street-art-appreciation-101.html
and all I can say is WOW!
While they state they don't endorse vandalism, and I will agree with that in theory, (just as another posted added) those bits of graffiti fall into a category of street art that I am glad exists.
Colour me impressed and hide the spray paint, 'cause I am feeling the uncontrollable urge to go paint the town red........ brick.

Sticks and Stones...
Disclaimer... No figs were beaten into submission for this post.
Often my Lego projects are long, involved and take way too many Bricklink orders to finish. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy those projects immensely!
But sometimes I just want to "play"...
To make simple builds, that only use the parts in my collection, and take only an evening to build. Those are the "rules" to my "one night builds" and very much like a "one night stands" they take little emotional, mental or physical effort, and the result is usually not note worthy (not that this one really is either, giggle). Most often, these "one night builds" quickly end up sorted back into my collection in a relatively short time span. Seldom do they even get photo documented, but this time I could not resist.
It started with last year, between a few JLUG contests here and here (note entry #25) ... and some inspiration that came from BF, where Robin W (at least I believe it was his) had a long chain made of click hinges.
EDIT: (and then edited again for clarity)....
OOPS, my apologies, and a correction, chain credit goes to Michael Harrod, of the self crowned title "The Chain Originator" fame... due to him winning ~Most Intriguing Sculpture~ at BrickFest 2005" - with his "chain link" MOC’s named “Multiplicity: A Study in Using Multiple Copies of a Single Element,” or and I quote "something along those lines."
I thought that was the best use of an element that I rarely find the need for, so I took mine and built some chain, (3 of them to be exact, one in black, one in new grey and one in old grey). The chain seemed a bit lonely... which got me to thinking one night... which is never a good idea.
And this is the result of my "one night builds".
"Friday Night"
This "collection" is now part of my ...
"Satiated Sculpture Series"
starting with this original one...
"Saturday Night"
Enjoy, I know I did, wink!

Another Lego, not so Lego moment...
I spent the weekend trying to sort out the pictures on my hard drive... and I came across this one pic of my children from many years ago...
They just happen to be climbing a huge RED Lego brick... in the "Honey I SHRUNK the Kids" themed park of MGM studios, in Walt Disney World, in Orlando Florida.
Funny part for me is this pic was taken way before I ever got back into the hobby of building.
