Using the PicToBrick program, I have made a 48X48 studs-out mosaic of the Chicago Bears NFL logo.

Once I had downloaded PicToBrick (and enough auxilliary components to get it to run), I had a lot of fun running random pictures through to see what kind of mosaic the program would generate. I thought that I would find some small square image with not too many colors and run it through PicToBrick so that I could actually build a mosaic instead of just staring at instructions for them on a computer screen. For starters I wanted to do one that would fit onto a 48X48 baseplate.

Being a Bears fan and knowing that I’d be going up to BrickWorld in Chicago in June, I thought that a mosaic of the Bears logo would be perfect. Another plus for the Bears logo choice is that it fits nicely into a square perimiter. I found a Bears logo image and brightened it a little.



Orange and white are easy enough to come by, but enough dark blue for a 48X48 version of the Bears logo would be pretty expensive. Since the logo’s blue is such a dark blue, I opted to use black instead. PicToBrick generated this instruction image:



Now that I had full instructions for a creation that was only 1 layer of bricks and only 3 colors, it wasn’t long before I had the completed mosaic:



I almost feel like a fraud by claiming to have built this “MOC” when I really only followed instructions similar to how you’d build an official LEGO set. But anyway, here it is.

Enjoy!
