Elf Food

Part of me says it's wierd getting into Christmas mode a week before Thanksgiving (whatever the hec that is), but given that all the stores around here had their Halloween gear swapped out for Yuletide gear on the morning of November 1st, I don't feel so bad. Especially when it means getting to show you this...

Carl Merriam has built these (life sized?) elves as part of a Lego display for the Santa booth next to Macy's in Fresno California (...on display right before Thankswhatever, if you happen to have the dubious fortune to live in the Fresno area).



Although Carl does include a shot with a Pepsi can for scale, I love the way he's incorporated some of his other MOCs, such as the yellow Chocobo, as gifts on the elves' work table! But if there's any doubt to the scale, I think the following closeup makes it pretty obvious...



(...Carl please tell me how I can get a gig like this! I've been a good boy all year, promise...)

  1. I honestly don't understand myself how it happened. I was in the wrong place for a few years and that led me to the right place at the right time somehow. BTW in my incessant lurking around the internet I've seen your work and I am very impressed.
