It’s obvious that Stimpson spent a great deal of time setting up each scene. When asked why he creates his art, Stimpson said that he mainly does it for the fun. We can’t argue with that. Nor will we try. Speaking of famous Lego characters, here is an amazing selection<\/a> from another artist, Angus MacLane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
