Re: Meet Nathan Sawaya, The Most Famous LEGO Artist in the W
This might sound strange from a Lego builder, but personally I'm not so fond of Lego sculptures.
I believe it's because you can only look at them and that's it.
I want to make Lego items with a 'secret'.

Nathan makes his lego creations with a secret too, they make his wallet really fat. Quit his six figure corporate lawyers job to make lego art. He will make a sculpture of you for only $60.000.00. For that kind of money and fame with a legacy long after your dead you can learn to like building lego art that just gets looked at.
Personally I have never even seen up close or touched a single lego brick wouldn't know where to start but for 60.000.00 a pop for one piece of work I could become a huge fan of doing it.
Nathan is one of only six certified Lego professionals in the world.
Be cool to have one of these made of lego's.

Yes I like the creations of McVeigh, and yes, I've seen all the Lego magic tricks, amazing !
Great Money maker Roberto! And he shows how to make one yourself!
But again, Lego sculptures... I have never liked them to be honest. It's mostly fake art. I was in Legoland in Denmark when I was 25, I liked everything except the sculptures...

Robert
Thanks for showing the Lego Money Maker very cool.
BluBob
Like the "more lego magic" how did I miss that one.
Making Lego sculptures does take artistic talent for sure. I equate it to trying to make curved lines to look right on an Etch-A-Scetch very hard to do. If you can make a sculpture look like a person you can recognize out of Lego's you have really done something most can't.

That money printer is amazing!
If only lego blocks were smaller, that would make these tricks more convincing and you would be able to make smaller mechanisms, although some of them are quite good

For us none Lego owners what kit would we need to buy to build the money maker. Looks cool would like to make it the first Lego item I build.

The best way to obtain the bricks you really need is via Bricklink.com.
Re: Meet Nathan Sawaya, The Most Famous LEGO Artist in the W
Agree that the money maker is really cool- my favorite one too.

Yes, this is one of my favorites too! The design is fantastic, with many fine details. The gimmicked cube is very clever made! It would take me a long time to reproduce this item!
