To the delight of children in the area, a giant, 6 ft. tall lego man has washed up on a beach in Brighton, UK leaving residents puzzled as to its origins.
Last year, we reported on a similar incident where tourists at the Dutch resort of Zandvoort came across a giant legoman bobbing just off shore. That lego man had the words “NO REAL THAN YOU ARE” written across its chest.
So where did these lego men come from. Was it an unfortunate accident, strange coincidence, or publicity stunt? Well, BBC news is saying it’s the latter.
It is the work of artist Ego Leonard who will be exhibiting his artwork in London in the coming weeks. Trying to figure out what inspired Ego to do this, I came across EgoLeonard.com which, of course, is written in Dutch. With the help of Yahoo’s Babel Fish, translating the site into english left me more confused than ever. You can find the translation HERE.
