A HUGE point. It kind of reminds me of Duchamp's "ready-mades", or whatever
-- the placement of a urinal in a museum as if he had sculpted it himself.
Legos can be seen as a kind of medium, but it's a very dictatorial one at
that...
In my own view, I PLAY with lego -- I do not consider it art with a capital
"A". It is creative, and I do respect people's various creations -- BUT do
let us keep perspective on what is going on here. PLAY -- not art, and
certainly not your own personal commercial enterprise.
I do write, draw, paint, sculpt, etc. Whether those creations are in the
way of art with a capital "A" is probably for someone else to decide --
although I think I am not at all bad as a traditional artist, even if I do
say so myself.
Some of you want to be TLC so badly you can taste it - but it's a no go. It
is a privately owned company and you are SOL (Sadly Out of Luck, right?).
