Voyage To The Moon – BrickCon2009 Winner Best Art – Guy Himber
By far the best thing about BrickCon2009 was the chance to meet and talk to other AFOL (Adult Fans Of LEGO). One of the many builders I was lucky enough to sit next to was Guy Himber of V&A Steamworks. Guy was busily rebuilding some of his pieces for the show, and he and I chatted for a while, about LEGO, creations and the general awesomenessiocity(TM) of the works around us. Coincidentally, one of his pieces was next to “To The Stars”. But it was the sheer superbitudeiness(TM) of “Voyage to the Moon” that brought it the “Best in Art” trophy.
this piece is wonderful in so many ways. From the Steam Punkedness of the rocket, to the way Guy has captured the classic image from the 1902 film “La Voyage dans la Lune” (A Trip to the Moon to you and I, unless you’re French, in which case, you probably ignored everything after the part that read “A Trip to the Moon”.)
You can also check out V&A Steamworks and their many creations on their Flickr Page.
