Hi, everyone!

In early November 2004, a woman commissioned me to create a mosaic of her children as a gift for her husband.

Read all about it on MOCpages.


The mosaic is about 3.5 feet wide and 2 feet tall, and uses about 7000 or 8000 pieces. In addition to the basics -- red, blue, yellow, white, and black -- I used dark grey, light grey, tan, green, and orange. That helped achieve more detail, because it meant there’d be was less “diffusion” ... which was important because the mosaic is be pretty small given the amount of detail required.

I hope you like it! The client was very happy with the results, and this piece now sits over their mantle in their home. (She said that all the kids that see it immediately know it’s LEGO, yet the parent’s don’t.) :)
