What happens when a music junkie and a LEGO fan decides to club his two loves together? Everything gets LEGO-lized. 

Malaysia-based self-proclaimed "full-time knowledge, music, LEGO and diecast car junkie" Adly Syairi Ramly has transformed iconic bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin into amazing LEGO figurines.

The best thing about Ramly's work is that these figurines have been created in the exact imagery of the bands they depict.

Checkout these images below. They have all been taken and edited strictly on the iPhone 5. Have a look:

Using his own personal experience, Canada-based photographer Jeff Friesen has used LEGO to create all the 50 states in the USA.

Friesen has used his 7-years old daughter's brick collection to create this project titled '50 States of LEGO'. His depiction of every state is pretty humorous and is done in a fun spirit.

This project is pretty similar to Friesen's previously done project titled 'Great White North', which is a LEGO depiction of all the Canadian provinces.

According to Friesen, "I used to live in the U.S. and got to thinking it would be a challenge to do all 50 states. I actually thought it might be impossible, considering the limitations of my daughter's Lego collection and the fact that there are 16 states I have not visited."

A Christmas without anything LEGO is like spicy Indian food minus the spices. How disappointing it is when you order spicy curry at your favorite Indian joint and are instead served the non spicy one, same is the case with Christmas and LEGO.

I know its too early to be talking about Christmas but with holiday season officially on, how can one not talk about Christmas. In fact, a New York-based Australian artist Cimon has already began or to be precise completed with creating a series of sculptures made using LEGO bricks and transformed into a shinny piece of art with Swarovski crystals.

LEGO and nail art are two totally different things. Have you ever imagined what would happen if you combine the two together?

I bet you are like WHAT!?  But trust me when I say this that there is one photographer that has combined the two together.

Canada-based photographer Dorota Pankowska, who is a graduate from Ontario, had a rather out-of-the-box idea, one fine day and decided to make nail art using LEGO bricks.

Pankowska took a LEGO brick and chopped off its tips and glued them onto her nails for a real LEGO effect. She also placed LEGO flowers and figure on tips, completing the whole do.

Just in case you are a LEGO fan and you missed out on the unveiling of the 'Star Wars' X-Wing Fighter in New York, then you ought to read this piece.

On Friday, in order to celebrate the premiere of the upcoming series 'The Yoda Chronicles' on Cartoon Network, LEGO unveiled a 1:1 replica of the 'Star Wars' X-Wing fighter. The replica is 42 times the size of a normal LEGO set.

The replica measures 43-feet in length, 11-feet in height and has a wingspan of 44-feet. Bottom line - It is the "World's largest LEGO model" ever unveiled.

According to the official LEGO page, "The largest LEGO model EVER was revealed in Times Square today. This massively awesome model is made of 5,335,200 bricks and took 32 designers 17,000 hours to build! It's out of this world!"

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we're done with half of the holiday shopping and December is here, it's Christmas time!

As the Christmas countdown has just begin, everyone is knee deep preparing for Christmas. And why would UK's only certified LEGO technician, Duncan Titchmarsh stay behind. Duncan has constructed a huge LEGO advent calendar.

Like every advent calendar, everyday at 4 pm the door of this LEGO calendar is opened, revealing it's inside content and the last door would be opened on the Christmas eve.

It’s that time of the year again, when everyone around is busy searching for that perfect dress and by dress I don't mean that everyone around is getting married or something, I'm talking about that perfect Halloween dress.

What I love the most about Halloween apart from the spooky parties and candy corn is it's one and the only day when you literally can be anyone or anything you want to be, even a Gingerbread Man or a Pony.

But that whole journey to deciding upon the costume is difficult, especially when the Halloween countdown has already started. And as usual, I'm again clueless about what I'm going to be wearing this year. So just like last year, I'm surfing the internet for some cool Halloween dress ideas and yes... there is a buffet of ideas out there. Even though I have shortlisted a few but I cannot zero down to one. Here are some of the costume ideas that I have shortlisted, may be you guys can help me out.

Happy Viewing!

Amazing LEGO Facts And Artwork

Posted: 7/28/2012
Anything is possible in the LEGO world and that's what makes it more interesting. There are so many things that can be made using LEGO bricks. I have met so many LEGO fans, who go on and on talking about LEGO and their childhood LEGO memories. Few of them still have some of their LEGO toys with them. I recently read somewhere that LEGO bricks sold in one year would encircle the world 5 times. Amazing, isn't it?

Frankly speaking, we here at E-junkie are sort of hooked on to LEGO for quite sometime, especially after we featured the LEGO Colosseum last week on our blog.

One of my fondest childhood memory is of the LEGO toy set I owned. I always dreamt of  becoming an architect, thought that I was Bob, the builder of LEGO toys (minus the handy box and helpers). Well, today I'm not an architect or anything of that sort but I am still crazy for LEGO, especially the LEGO sculptures.

Earlier, we had featured the famous photographs in LEGO and music albums covers in LEGO on our blog and this time we again have LEGO related work for you. The world's first LEGO Colosseum.

A little while ago, we'd featured some of the most famous photographs in LEGO, where the artist recreated some most iconic and historic photographs.

Today we bring you another such interesting series where classic albums covers like Iron Maiden, Oasis, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Beatles and many more have been 'Legolized'. It seems that there is almost nothing that can not be created with LEGO.

Have a look at some of my favorite creations:

Just recently we shared an interesting campaign by LEGO in Australia where they have created a 'Lego Forest' as part of their LEGO Festival of Play.

Today we would like to share another interesting creation by one of the best toy companies in the world. An app that lets kids and nerdy adults like me create a stop-motion video using an iPhone, and bring LEGO figurines to life.

The LEGO group and Pereira & O'Dell (who recently created a witty campaign for Skype) have worked together to design this iPhone app called 'LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker'. "We wanted to create an unique experience that helps bridge the gap between the digital world and the physical world of Lego" says Izzy Weberbauer, Pereira & O'Dell's account supervisor.

Mike Stimpson is a computer programmer and a photographer from United Kingdom who has recreated a Lego version of some of the most popular photographs in the history.

Although he doesn't consider himself to be much of a Lego builder, but looking at his images, I think he is being unreasonably modest.

"I do seem to take quite a lot of photographs of Lego, although I'm more of a photographer than a Lego builder. I also enjoy messing about with landscapes and portraiture, but don't get a chance to do those as often as I'd like to." shares Stimpson. Have a look at some of my favorite re-creations by the Mike aka Balakov:
