Street art

This great street painting is on display at LEGO World in Zwolle.


This picture reveals the trick of perspective.

Street art

I guess this street art was created by Planet Streetpainting as part of San Diego Comic-Con. I'm surprised I hadn't seen it before, but it looks like it was sort of behind the Convention Center (in that open area by the water to the southeast), so maybe fewer con attendees actually saw it.



I always find it fun to see these from another side to see how the illusion was created.

What will be the next poster?

We've seen a couple of teaser images for the upcoming Tolkien theme, and as others have pointed out, these are basically LEGO versions of some of the Peter Jackson movie posters:



This, of course, raises the question of what will be the next poster. These seem pretty obvious candidates. BTW, was there a movie poster for any of the three movies that focused just on Sam? I can't find any, which is, IMO, a pretty good indicator that Jackson largely missed Tolkien's point. Okay, I'll save a movie rant for another day.



If they break away from the pattern of character close-ups, these are some others that I'd love to see in LEGO. Of course the third one would answer the question I asked before about how they will do the Ring.



I've shared this image before, but this is a good time to describe it in detail. Back in 2004 there was a movie poster contest on Lugnet. Here was my entry. There were several movie posters that were collages of images, and LEGO could do something like I did here. BTW, in case you're wondering, the faint image of the Ring in my poster is the top of a LEGO key, faded out in Photoshop.



One last, that would be fun and old school:

Aragorn

It looks like LEGO is going to be periodically releasing these movie posters to build excitement about the upcoming line.
