LEGO revealed the new Pokémon SMART Play sets today and I was able to get a closeup look at all of them! To be honest, I was really skeptical about these before seeing them in person and getting the chance to try battle them, but my first impression is that these sets are a LOT of fun 🤩

SMART Play may not be the most popular innovation the LEGO Group has tried, but there’s a good chance Pokémon can change that perception. With so many possibilities for play, including battling, nurturing and training Pokémon, I think kids are really going to love these.

I built a diorama of The Backrooms out of LEGO - inspired by the original YouTuber video by

The bacteria entity actually sparked the idea for this whole build. Watching the short film over again I was reminded of LEGO whip pieces for the sort of “squiggly” texture this creepy entity has. From there, I found that LEGO had the perfect shade of pale yellow for the walls and carpet in The Backrooms which is really brought to life by the lighting - a strand of string lights I happened to find in my desk drawer!

I wanted to recreate specific Backrooms details like the entity, a hole leading to another level and the hand drawn face on the wall, as well as a detail of my own - an abandoned video tape and camera as a reference to the found footage of Kane’s original series.

I loved creating a low-pressure, quick diorama build based around an aesthetic and I really want to build more of these - some backrooms-inspired, some liminal spaces and maybe more than that. The positive response to the video I shared of this MOC is so appreciated and has me wanting to build and share more in this style!

If you’re not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you’ll end up in the Backrooms…

With the film releasing today, I decided to build my own version out of LEGO, based on the original “Found Footage” YouTube short film.

There’s still time to immerse yourself in Monet’s masterpiece at The Met! 🖼️ LEGO artist created this incredible life size version of Claude Monet’s Bridge Over A Pond of Water Lilies which is currently on display at by The Met Store - but only until June!

I’ve said it before but the LEGO set based on this masterpiece is one of my favorites of the year, a really gorgeous design by - we have ours displayed on the wall opposite our bed and I love being able to see it every morning when I wake up!

The interactive display at the Met is really spectacular and I’m so happy I stumbled upon it during my last visit to the museum. If you have the chance to see it during the last few days of this exhibit I highly recommend it! Of course, while you’re in the Met you gotta take the opportunity to see the original painting as well!

My copy of set #31220 Claude Monet’s Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies was gifted by the LEGO Group
