Thanks! No context or backstory — I just made it for the sake of the pun.

LEGO@lemmy.world•[MOC] "CatDog LisaBart" - this came to me in a dreamEnglish
2·3 months agoFeel free to crosspost!
I was able to post the images on a new community on my host instance. It looks like there is ultimately always going to be some degradation of image quality if I use my instance as the host, but this workaround is a improvement over the images being posted onto the main post directly. Thanks for the help!
I found a high resolution scan of the first page of the Constitution. After deciding on my scale, I superimposed a 78x64 square grid over the scan, as well as a separate 65x64 rectangular grid for when I was building in the vertical dimension. After hemming and hawing for about year about over how to best to depict the paragraph text, I eventually decided that random shaping was the only viable option with the medium. However, using the grids as a reference allowed me to place the larger text, the indentations, new lines, and empty spaces in nearly their precise locations as on the original document.
Side note: the scale wasn’t determined by the text, but rather by needing the thickness of the stripes to be evenly divisible by the width of the brick separator. I opted to be 15% undersized rather than 13% oversized since it would be an easier task plus I thought it would look better scaled to the brick separator.
Thanks! I don’t think any other medium could be nearly as conducive to conveying the critical parts of this piece as Lego is, especially with orange being by far the most common color for the modern brick separator and red being by far the most common color for the crowbar piece.
Thanks, I’ll try to look into this and see what I can do
Thank you! He’s shrugging apathetically because he thinks that’s the most effective thing he can do in response to what’s going on next to him.
Thank you! I’m incredibly flattered. It is indeed mine. I was thinking just today of how to go about finding a proper gallery for this.
Side note: Does anybody know why the additional photos are in lower resolution or how to upload them in a way that retains their original resolution?

Yes! It’s a flat rabbit actually
