LEGO Cosplay: Artist NorbyZERO

It's no secret that WackyTrish likes LEGO. As a creative medium and techy toy. For its power to engage... LEGO Cosplay artist NorbyZERO empathizes.

WackyCapNTrish are planning a trip from San Francisco to Long Beach.  We call it the Finding and Making Things Game (The F.A.M.T.G.). We're going to be busy finding folks who make things... We'll call them Makers... and making things of our own to show.  You can help us to do this by voting for us daily!

New York's Brick Artist Nathan Sawaya has taken LEGO Bricks to a new level.  He builds large-scale brick sculptures and exhibits around the world.  If you live in the Southern California region, you may have seen his work at the exhibit in Glendale.  His iconic images are everywhere on the internet, now he also has a studio in the LA Area.

Here I introduce another artist who uses LEGO bricks.  His birth name is Norbert LaBuguen.

You may call him NorbyZERO

NorbyZERO is a multiple-award winning artist at LEGO Fan Conventions here on the West Coast: Bricks by the Bay in Santa Clara, CA and BrickCon in Seattle, WA.  You may have seen his work in the LEGO fan magazine BrickJournal or on LEGO Fan panels at Comic-Con.

He's even been featured on a LEGO trading card set, STUDS.  The producing group is a creative LEGO group which specializes in the use of the LEGO brick as their medium.

He specializes in the use of LEGO BIONICLE and LEGO HERO FACTORY parts to create wearable art.  He takes his love for costume creation and combines it with his love for LEGO to create his very own form of LEGO Cosplay.

I was thrilled to have NorbyZero participate in my world by judging the June/July Long Beach Fan Club LEGO build contest.  There's still time to enter the August/September contest!

Enjoy the photo and find more of his work on the internet: NorbyZERO on YouTube, Google+, Flickr, Facebook.

I'm so excited about my trip to the Bay Area! Please Vote for me!
