If you've seen the surprisingly awesome "Lego Movie," you might have spotted the Lego creation of a Lincolnite.
There's a scene in "The Lego Movie" in which our hero, Emmet, lists off all the cool stuff made by the (actually quite nefarious) corporation Octan. One of the things that pops up is a Lego-made depiction of George Washington crossing the Delaware. That scene (pictured above) was constructed by Chris Malloy, a 27-year-old graphic designer from Lincoln.
Malloy, who's also the leader of the Lincoln and Omaha LEGO User Group, gave Warner Bros. permission to use his work.
Malloy's had a life-long love of Lego.
