Somewhere in Nevada...

Before I get to my first post:
Hello, I'm Harrison (Corran101), and I am one of the new contributers to VignetteBricks.
Now, to the post...

I just came across 2 Much Caffeine's "Boxing the Ark" vignette.
Boxing the Ark
I had seen it when it was new, but after coming across it again (now that I'm a contributor to the blog), I feel it should be blogged.
The crates are a nice combination of standard Lego crates with brick-built ones, along with SNOT for the base, and a neat tile pattern on the walls.

LEGO imitates art, art imitates LEGO

Adamanteum brings us Art museum. BTW, I'm intrigued by the relationship between LEGO and art. If I were more of a masochist than I am, I'd start another blog called ArtBricks. In the absence of that, I just ran across a MOCpages group on LEGO art. As of yet that group hasn't had much conversation, so I'm trying to jump start it with a couple of topics. Check it out and add your thoughts.

Poses

Posing minifigs can be frustrating. They have no knees or elbows, and what articulation there is is limited, so it is sometimes hard to get them to look natural. 74louloute has been experimenting and has come up with a number of unique poses, shown here in the Dubbing of Sir Arnault, Die you, Yellowish! and Sir Hruodland and Durandal.

LEAHI vigs

These vigs were in a gallery of MOCs from a LEAHI meeting (that's the LEGO Enthusiasts' Association of Hawaii). Does anyone know the builders?

Edit - Nelson let me know that the roller coaster is by Patrick Yrizarry and the rafting is by a builder named Randy. LEAHI had a vignette contest at their May meeting with the theme "My Favorite Summer Activity", and Patrick won it.
Thanks, Nelson!

Surrounded

Check out this great castle vignette by Garbageman13. I find the rippling water and the detailed cliffside to be quite awesome.

Armothe put together this little number using the Dragon wing in a rather neat way.

Dressed to KIll

I would guess the time has come for me to say hello too, and what better way to introduce myself than by highlighting this wonderful depiction of KISS by Jonathan Gilbert (Shmails)? Not technically a vignette but awesome enough for a post I would say.



So, that's it, I'm Jonas and now you know all about my childhood ;)

Saving Sergeant Jackson

Kevin (Crimson Wolf) has constructed this fantastic vignette depicting an insurgent hideout where Sergeant Anglo Jackson is supposed to be hidden. The details are great, including the timed I.E.D. and the fully-loaded insurgent.



(On another note, I'm one of the new co-blogger's that Bruce hired. Great to be part of the team!)

Driven into a Corner

crises_crs just unveiled this entry into the Vignette category of the Classic Castle Battles contest. Included are a number of fun techniques, from the Dwarf Beard, to the tiles and cheese slopes. And look at the new Space Police helmet!

LEGO torture

The creations are a little old, but I just saw this story on Wired. Legofesto made a series of scenes in protest of the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib.

Happy anniversary, Chris and Erin

I've previously blogged these as Chris brought them to a couple of fests (even winning best vig at BrickFest 09), but Chris has finally posted his own photos in celebration of his and his wife's first anniversary. Anyway, Chris made a series of five wedding cake topper vigs, each showing a significant step in their relationship. Congratulations, guys!
