  New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
With my new partnership with my local Toys'R'Us store comes my latest sculpture, a fullsize model of the TRU mascot, Geoffrey the Giraffe. Check it out on the sculpture page at www.brickfrenzy.com Thanks Adrian (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.announce) ! 
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) Cool. The construction shots are very informative So, can we ask: Did TRU provide the bricks for this? Or was it a commissioned sculpture? I think it's pretty nifty that the sculpture area is blossoming with several artists (and at least one (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) Well, they haven't supplied me with any bricks quite yet. I had bought the bricks with my own funds before they'd requested the sculpture. If they decide they can handle the price, they will pay me for the sculpture, at which time I'll glue it (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

I forgot to mention this, but this sculpture will be on display at my local Toys'R'Us on June 23rd from 1-3, as a test to see if they want to buy it, in which case it'll be permanently installed at that location. It's the TRU in North Olmstead, OH. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.oh)

(...) Hmm.... When I click on the thumbnail it comes up as page not found.... I'll try it a little later, but everything else seems to work. Joel J (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Which thumbnail? I haven't seen any problems, but I might've missed a URL somewhere. Adrian (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Greatest sculpture I have ever seen !! Your skill is wonderful itself. BTW,I can't wait to see lego sculpture area blossom more too. regards Masayuki Ogura (URL) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) From your main page, project index, then clicking on the Geoffery thumbnail at the top of the list... the thumbnail calls this URL: (URL) needs to have a lower case g - (URL) just tried it and with lower case it works fine. :) great model! (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Oops! Fixed. Thanks for noticing, and thanks for the compliments too. Adrian (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) I don't have any comments on the sculpture (other than, wow, I wish my brain could do that), but I wandered into your space section and fell in love. I love your "gravedigger" model! -- Jeff <jthompson@esker.com> "Float on a river, forever and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) Heh. Thanks. That's one that's been hanging around for quite a while. I keep thinking that I ought to go back and start building smaller vehicles like it again. My models just keep getting larger and larger, and I'm beginning to run out of (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) I think you have a real talent, and it's wonderful that you've built up this relationship with your local TLC store management. But I think you are missing out on a great opportunity for financial gain. Don't let them take your work for free - (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
I sure hope that they buy it! Would really suck to do all that work and have them not buy it! What are they hoping will happen in the two hours that it is displayed?

  Re: New sculpture: Geoffrey the Giraffe
 
(...) Hey, it's still a cool work, and I learned a lot on building big big sculptures, so it wasn't a total waste. I'll likely tear it apart and build something cooler with it if they don't. Not too much of a loss. (...) I suspect that the store (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.oh)
