This Han Solo LEGO pixel art from The Sydney Brick Show this past April is mindblowingly cool. If you aren’t familiar with the event, it’s an opportunity for Australian LEGO sculptors bring some of their creations and get together with other fans.
Skels from Geek Crafts shared some of the best things that she saw there and among them is this amazing pixelated Han Solo LEGO sculpture. This entire piece is said to be about 1 meter squared and is comprised of over TWENTY THOUSAND bricks.
Yes, you read that right. Why so many? Because those pieces are the tiny “one-ers” that are always all over your kid’s floor, waiting to stab you in the feet.
Building a tower out of Lincoln Logs is one thing. Building a real life, 30-foot high funeral pyre out of actual firewood is a little bit more complicated. With a bit of finesse and a lot of patience, artist Tadashi Kawamata managed to pull off the latter. No smoking in the vicinity, please.

What’s your favorite memory? Your first kiss? The first time you brought your baby home? The times you’ve spent with your dog? You’ve already immortalized them in photos, and now you can enjoy them in a totally different way thanks to Lets Cafe’s Latte Printer.
It’s perfect for morning surprises and random pick-me-up cups of coffee for someone who’s near and dear to you.
Lets Cafe is a Taiwan coffee chain and they’ve recently unveiled the Latte Printer in their stores. The printer basically uses a range of colored cocoa powder to ‘print’ your chosen images onto the foam of your coffee.
Lets Cafe hopes this newest addition to their shops will draw more customers away from larger and more popular chains like Starbucks.

The rarefied history of video art is foreign to all but a niche group of academics and art-world types. When artists first got their hands on portable video equipment in the late 60’s, they made incredibly odd things. Most of those things remained in academic obscurity—until, of course, internet video hosting exploded. Now, the strange history of video art is at your fingertips.
