Yahoo.com the other week had a couple of articles a couple of weeks ago on trendy uses of Lego in commercial art projects. One featured an exhibit at the Philedelphia Zoo that featured endangered animals rendered in your favorite plastic childrens plastic toy, and another article featured an exhibition of the work of Nathan Sawaya, who creates Lego sculpture for a living.

I’ve always been enamored with Legos, ever since I was a kid, so as an adult having grown up with them, it’s neat to see the Lego block featured in a prominent and more serious light than we usually expect to see them in.

Lego has been, and continues to be, one of those products that sparks innovation and captures the imagination, and it continues to remain popular even as the market and world continues to change around it.
