Remember those tiny little blocks of plastic that came in multiple colors with long detailed instruction manuals? I don’t know about you, but when I was a little kid, I loved playing with LEGOs. In fact, I was never into the other brands of constructor toys (i.e. Mega Blocks which I always thought were a LEGO ripoff, or K’NEX which I thought were awkward to play with, etc.).
This morning I came across an article about Nathan Sawaya. He left his job as a corporate lawyer to become a professional LEGO model builder and now he earns 6 figures building life size sculptures out of LEGOs! That’s awesome. I would assume the demand for an expert LEGO builder doesn’t mean thousands of kids can grow up hoping to be LEGO builders for a living, but it’s nice seeing someone do something they love, that’s fun, and makes them a lot of money. Here’s some cool pictures:
