Kyoto Encounter in LEGO

Yesterday @johnreiley recreated a portrait in LEGO during our livestream and it reminded me of a similar photo I had done a few years ago (we even used the same minifig!)

This was inspired by Brian Miller's photo of a woman in a kimono walking past an alley.

I already had built the Japanese alleyway as a book nook (which I showed during the live shoot in a previous stream) and so I actively sought out photos for inspo.

LEGO made a geisha minifigure before so I used that without changing anything (for example her red kimono to something dark like in the inspo).

I wanted LEGO fans to instantly recognize her even though she's so out of focus you can't see her kimono print.

Plus, I liked the red pop.

Then I matched the bike color so it would connect the two better, like in the inspo. (Inspho? Yes? Yes.)

I chose to use another build as the background and frame the geisha in the Asian door pattern for contrast. Because we can't see her kimono, I wanted to get some kind of Japanese pattern back there.

I still really like this photo. The livestream with John rekindled my interest in recreating a photo in LEGO form so I'll start looking for inspo inspho this week.

“My work is timeless because it’s based on the beauty of the human body and the fascinating world we live in,” said Thierry Mugler.

Never one to shy away from daring endeavors, Mugler staged photoshoots in some of the world’s most breathtaking settings including: icebergs in Greenland, the White Sand of New Mexico, and the Tlalpan Chapel in Mexico City to name a few. 

Here, Claude Heidemeyer poses on the edge of the Chrysler Building for an aptly-named photograph, “Vertigo,” in 1988. Mugler’s keen eye as a director resulted in photographs and campaigns that helped to convey his exhilarating point of view.

Thought I’d illustrate a piece inspired by The Last of Us.

tumblr tuesday: the greatest mafia movie

There's so much lore. An original soundtrack (masterlist here, thanks to @thisisnotjuli). It all began with a pair of boots. Then, a movie poster by @beelzeebub:

My husband is a man who collects things he can use. A pistol, a pocket-watch, a woman's love, a wife....

I'm obsessed with That Scene(tm) between Katya and Andrei in the California Director's Cut Rerelease of Goncharov, so I did a lighting study inspired by the film's Art Deco Posters! Little details like Katya never referring to her husband by his first name really add to Andrey and Katya's tense dynamic, which is one of the most underrated parts of the movie imo.

Rewatched Goncharov (1973) and did a few studies of my favourite scenes

anyway i think we all know who the true best character in Goncharov (1973) is
