(...) Yikes. How many tiles did this monster take? I suppose you put a pretty good dent in the 1x2 black and white tiles stockpiles on bricklink, didn't you? great job Adrian -- (URL) (22 years ago, 7-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

That's a really nice creation. Well done! But I'm having a lot a trouble fully understanding what it was that you did! Do you have more photos showing a wider variety of pieces as they were fitted together? I suppose because it's only in black and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Alan, I added this pic as well: (URL) show a few plates and tiles. Between that image and these: (URL) not sure how to better illustrate how I made the mosaic. eric (...) (22 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Hi Eric, My confusion arises from trying to reconcile this: (URL) this: (URL) first one seems to indicate that we are viewing the sides of tiles, plates and bricks. The second one seems to show the tops of tiles. So, is the mosiac pattern made up of (...) (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Didn't TLG themselves pick that one up? Anyway, very clever building technique Eric. It gives a much better look to the final picture than having them all the same way. Funny how both images are effectively the same resolution, yet the SNOT (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) LEGO contracted me to write the LEGO Mosaic program that is on their shop.lego.com website. While it is, in some ways, similar to my program, their requirements and specifications were very different than those of Pixelego (my program). (...)

(...) Wow - that must have been quite maddening! Aren't you afraid of the parts falling out though? Did you consider using headlight bricks or an extra layer or something to hold the pieces together?

Eric, awesome job! If I'm understanding all the posts correctly, this could be a jigzaw puzzle, right? The image is just made up of lots of smaller, and not really connected, parts? That is sort of scary. Of course you could make it into a big (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

well... a puzzle with thousands of pieces. many of the 'pieces' are simply 1x1 tiles on their sides and such.... they are just stacked next to one another... not really connected. eric (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
