Bart de Dobbelaer, by day a systems manager, by night a Lego mastermind. Based in Bekkevoort, Belgium, he uses classic Lego toys to create multi-layered scenes that tell an epic and fantastical story. Some of his pieces, i.e. the monolith UFOS (the orange UFOS as shown in the photo below), is featured in our current show Designing Outside The Lines!

Check out Josh Mayhem’s piece The Demon Fett- a custom Boba Fett Lego Clock / Lego Hero Factory mash-up for the Designing Outside The Lines here at 1AM Gallery. Made out of 100% Lego Toys believe it or not. Yes, even the cape! (Whaaatt?!) It stands 12″ tall and the cape is adjustable. Mayhem’s cutting-edge toy proves how much Lego’s have evolved and are way cooler then they used to be. Who knew you could make a legit designer toy out of Lego’s from Target?
Designing Outside The Lines will be exhibiting from April 26th through May 25th. For information or to be part of the preview, email maya@1AMSF.com.

Kasey Tararuj, aka One-Eyed Girl, is an inspiring artist whose custom toy will be featured in our upcoming show Designing Outside the Lines. We were attracted to her custom toys, but little did we know she is a paralyzed artist who makes beautifully poignant paintings and drawings about her condition as a paraplegic. Paralyzed since 2000, she refused to let it hold her back. In fact, it seems to have propelled her artwork to a whole other level. Check it out for yourself.
