A gorgeous mosaic, no doubt about it. And in the offices of LD, no
less. Honestly, I am impressed.

Now, not to detract from your work, but there is something I wonder
about. How much _creative_ work is involved in building a mosaic like
this? I am a computer programmer myself, so I imagine I am well aware
of the creativity needed to program PixeLego. However, once that is
done, and once you have the image, isn't it just a question of, hmm,
pixelpushing?

Again, I am much impressed by your work. However, it seems to me that
mosaics require less, hmm, creativity than some of your other work,
like the various sculptures, and the various puzzles that you've built.

Regards,

Johannes.

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

<insert funny description here>
I think that Pavlov was the man who conducted experiments with dogs and
bells but I am not exactly sure what those experiments were in my mind.  I
believe that you have done well on that particular sculpture and it is nice
to know that you are so varied in your works of art.  I like the fact that
you think in a similar manner to my life, at least when it concerns LEGO
structures, but you may have missed my earlier posts about anime and normal
human characters.  I wish they would make peach, light purple, dark red,
dark green, and dark purple LEGO bricks, LEGO plates, and LEGO pieces.  I am
not sure what the title of that post is but I will tell you when i do
discover what the name of the post is on this bulletin board.

P.S.  Auburn is not that far from Mobile, is it, Eric?  I have a brother who
lives in a town near Mobile so maybe if I am on vacation we could create
some sculptures together, Eric.
