Finished up a commissioned piece last week, but couldn’t post until now, as it was a surprise anniversary for a fellow AFOL. He’s a big fan of both Castle and Pirates, and so his wife and I brainstormed for a while about what to make for him. Finally, we settled on Jack Sparrow. I started working on a mosaic of a full body minifig of jack, and was having trouble getting his facial hair right. Sparrow has a LOT of facial hair. While I was looking for a close up to use to get it right, I looked over at my wall in my office, and staring back at me was a poster that came with either the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean game or possibly one of the sets. And there it was, the perfect Jack image.
