Ok, clearly I lack a playful imagination...but what was the point of that post? :lol:

Is the author making fun of new york using LEGO? Or was he saying he misses New York using LEGO? Or are these images he seen in the mess of LEGOs his children left on the floor?

Abstract art confuses me so much. :P

It's just a bit of creative fun. Fair enough if it doesn't interest you though.

It doesn't really have a story behind it other than what he's written. The artist was thinking about New York (presumably where he is originally from, or once lived), so he picked up the Lego and started to create the impressions that he's photographed in the article. Playful, creative fun really.

I thought it was neat and I enjoyed looking at the pictures. He/She is a very creative individual. Looking at it also made me feel like I was getting a forward from a friend in my email, so I started looking for the Archive button. It was rather funny.
