Carnival Photos

Wow – what is there not to love about carnival? I think London’s Notting Hill Carnival – the only one I’ve been to – shames in comparison to efforts from places like Sao Paulo, Brazil!

I love these illustrations converted to target posters featuring a slew of movie and game baddies. A simple and effective idea by Olly Moss.

Like coin-ops? Then you’ll love this Flickr set of vintage coin-op machines.

The Coin-Op collection on flickr is a superb collection and example of what a wonderful sight old coin-op machines can be. Good visual reference for that mechanical vintage look.

All About Lego

The Editor — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 01:47:53 +0000

If you like Lego, you’ll love the Brothers Brick Lego block, which touts contributions featuring interesting and unique, fun Lego creations.

I’ve featured Lego here before (Iron Man lego) and although I’m not fanatical about the brand, interesting Lego models do catch my eye, especially if they’re not too “Lego-like”.

Licenses also get my attention and there’s a crop of models currently being released for the forthcoming new Indiana Jones film.

This one below is quite an impressive diorama, displaying the temple escape from the beginning of The Raiders of the Lost Ark.

For more Lego creations, check out The Brothers Brick blog

The Indy diorama was discovered on Gizmodo
