The grey-scale center portion of the image was built by Eric Harshbarger, a great LEGO artist, who sadly is doing very little building anymore. Eric's work was a major influence in pulling me out of my dark age and back into building. See his post about this mosaic here... http://www.ericharshbarger.com/lego/san_francisco.html Interesting trivia about #9 (record LEGO image)...

You had to take off their legs in order to have them sit in a chair or vehicle. (I had a little police boat and a cop!) Eventually we lost their heads and used the little square "onesies" instead. Those were referred to as the no-necks, they were like a sub-species of minifigs. I remember my little unmovable, unemotional minifigs too!

The "Brick Testament" actually decided to portray my most comically favourite part of the Bible - the parts of Leviticus describing "Sexual Discharges" and how women are "unclean" for seven days after menstruation, and must present two doves as sacrifice for atonement. The brickwork is impeccable, and the photography is hilarious. Plus, it covers the biblical version of "Red Wings". Ho.ly.crap.
