Sean was born August
22, 1976. As a child he took up an interest in cartooning and
became a published cartoonist at the age of 18. He later attended Rutgers
University and studied computer
science, philosophy, and computer science. At the age of 27 he started to
create pieces of art made from Lego’s professionally. He has his creations
being shown all over the world. He is also an established and published author
of five different books.
When Sean was describing how he wanted to portray the polar
bear this is what he said;” Since he is stuck on an ice floe and his species is
endangered, I wanted him to look a little frustrated, a little sad, a little
confused, and overall concerned about the predicament he is in.”
The “polar Bear” was created with 95,000 Lego Blocks and
took over 1100 hours to construct. It was amazingly finished in only two weeks.
Two of those days were spent on the facial expression, taking great care that
he wouldn’t look too cartoonish, rather so that he had a humanistic look to
him.
I chose this creation because, not only was it built with
blocks and is absolutely amazing, polar bears are stunning creatures.
