Baby you can drive my cart

Lowlug recently held another Mini Moc Madness. This time the theme was Glad that I drive. Mahjqa won with a microscale MOC. Once I find that on a linkable page I'll post it over on MicroBricks. Two other entries were Jalkow's Not so glad that I drive and Eldert's Not so glad that the monkey drives.

BrickJournal

BrickJournal Issue 9 is out! Be sure to download this, as this is the last free issue. Starting with the next issue, BrickJournal will be available in a print version. Follow the link above to learn more about subscription.

This issue has a couple of items of specific interest to the vignette fan. Most significant is a feature on Nannan Zhang (aka Nannan Z, aka A-tree) (Brickshelf, MOCpage). His surrealistic vignettes have been featured several times here on VB.

Also, a feature on Tania Baixinho shows one of her vigs.

The Far Vig

NWBrickCon is underway in Seattle. Someone has displayed a series of Far Side vigs. I recognize a couple, like the "What we say, what dogs hear." When I see better pics, I'll be sure to post them here.

8x8 = 575 ?

Derek Schin presents another haiku with Guitar Hero.
Rock stars preen and strut
While they shout at the devil
But he's just a geek.

How-con

A while ago, Earl-o Kotaro held How-con, a contest based around the new skeletons and skeletal horses. This spurred Mashikuf's sc2.

Lucy in the Wardrobe with Fauns

DARKspawn has a great Narnia vig called What Lucy Found There. The construction of Mr. Tumnus is particularly clever.

Cheating

Hmm, this really belongs on Scaled up LEGO bricks, but this diver scene from (apparently) the Children's Museum in Winnipeg is a giant version of a vig. In a related theme, Joniis has a Coral reef expedition bignette.

Ravenous

Unfortunately I can't link images off of the Lowlug site, so when they hold their periodic Mini-MOC-Madness contests, I have to wait until people post their creations on Brickshelf, Flickr, or some other site, to have anything other than text here. Anyway, Jovel has recently posted Oh what fun, a ravine (second place entry in the "Vacation" contest) and Tornado (fourth place entry in the "Weather" contest). It looks like time for the next contest, with the theme "Gladly that I file" (hmm, that's what Babelfish gives me; maybe someone could leave a comment with a better translation). --Update: Marakoeschtra has let me know that it should be "Gladly that I drive."-- Keep tuned for entries and winners from the new contest.
