“Create The Impossible” by LEGO
By Vurdlak on December 5, 2008, with It seems LEGO finally recognized impossible object illusions as another great (optical illusion) way to promote their product. I’d like to think their inspiration came of this website – specially Escher Style category , but it’s much more likely they stumbled upon some of Andrew Lipson’s work , instead.
I am committing to a handmade kiss-mas this year, or at least as much as possible. So I have been looking for a easy to make present that will delight both young and old. It had to be sweet but also fun, I wanted something people would actually use, so I came up with my own version of 'Pass the Pigs'....Pass the Piglets! I had to modify the game a little, this is the score card I came up with. I wanted everything to fit into a little container so I made this poke everything tucks in quite nicely!
it's a tribute - this isn't the greatest game in the world...
