Warren Elsmore is an artist working in a unique medium - LEGO bricks. Based in Edinburgh, he's been in love with the plastic brick since the age of four and now works with a number of commercial companies to realise their dreams in plastic. Since rediscovering his love of LEGO at the age of 24, Warren has never looked back! Warren's first book, Brick City immortalized more than one hundred global icons in LEGO bricks, with instructions to allow you to build many of them with your own parts at home. Since the book's release, the models have gone on tour throughout Europe and have been made into collectable models, gifts, and heavily covered in international press. The second LEGO book in the series, the equally successful Brick Wonders, showcased 28 incredible ancient and modern wonders of the world made entirely from LEGO, and the third, Brick Flicks, recreated famous movie scenes with the help of many charismatic minifigs. Warren's aim is a balance of realistic re-creation, coupled with a recognizable LEGO style. His knowledge and skill with this medium allows him to see the essence of an object and faithfully recreate its most recognizable aspects with LEGO bricks. Warren also organizes AFOLCON and The Lego Show - dedicated LEGO fan conventions attracting thousands of fans, young and old. @warrenelsmore
