The video was created by animator Tomas Redigh and musician Daniel Larsson, the duo that make up Swedish band Rymdreglage.

The world is in disrepair and a handyman is sorely needed. Enter German artist Jan Vormann who started Dispatchwork, an ongoing project that seeks to restore distressed architecture by using colourful little toy bricks to fill in the cracks. His project started out in Italy and has taken him to Israel, Holland, and to Berlin where he, with help from the local community, filled in World War II bullet holes at a building of the Humbold University.
During an interview with Halogen Life when asked about how long he’d be continuing with the project, Vormann had this to say.
I want to “repair” every broken wall in the whole world with Dispatchwork. Why not? I think it is a fun approach towards conceiving the decay that time brings along. Also it leaves a positive imprint in people’s mind. As long as kids play, adults will build walls. And those wall break. Let’s patch them up with colorful plastic pieces. Life is serious, so that makes playing sometimes even more important.

Any adult fan of Lego will tell you, the following LEGO ads are goddamn FAKE. In fact, some have found it a big insult to the adult LEGO fan community, who apparently spends their days in damp basements building tasteful large scale models, and not making horny hos.

An avid rabid adult Lego fan also mentioned that one can’t even build these models – the geometry is all wrong and the curves are represented badly. In any case it turns out these are actually part of a series entitled Pixxxel by Jean Yves Lemoigne for Amusment Magazine.
