Sure, you can build scale models with a bazillion legos, like this penguin and fish. It’s basically a giant lego bitmap in 3d; a diagonal becomes a jagged series of square bricks.
But Chris Deck has a different vision for lego miniatures: He makes ‘em small:
Just more proof that constraints can make art better. Chris pretty much sticks to Star Wars, (I especially like his Cloud City) but there are other “microscale” Lego artists.

I'm Michael Condouris, and this is my second blog. The first one's Wacky Neighbor. I was born in 1975 in New Jersey. I live in Aberdeen, NJ, with my fiancée Carrie, in our new suburban paradise. We have two pets, a Shih Tzu named Coco and a beagledor named Zoë. I was on Jeopardy once. I lost, though, just like in the Weird Al song.
Besides Smallistry, my interests include robots, space, movies, movies about robots and/or space, and Mexican restaurants. Recently I've also become fond of the Wii and ancient history. I dislike conversations about food, sports, other people's children, and conspiracy theories. I'm ok with talking about the weather though. My hat size is 7 1/4, and I have no sense of smell.
I've pretty much stopped blogging in the last, oh, 6 months or so, because talking about tiny things got a bit stale and life had a habit of getting in the way. So for the time being, the site will live on as a Twitter feed of whatever floats through my head.
