The book is full of beautiful pictures of his LEGO art which are accompanied by his thoughts on the piece; where the idea came from, what inspired him, how he did it, etc.
This book is a walk through this one artist's life, from his house in Veneta, Oregon, to his art installations and artwork such as the Hugman spread around the world (now a LEGO Ideas project). From his relationship with Courtney, his wife, to the TV show appearances. The rejection and the rewards. The collabs and the commissions. As mentioned above, it covers a rich life, with rich experiences, and even richer artwork, all from LEGO bricks. I greatly enjoyed the read (which I finished in a single afternoon). If you're a lover of art or a lover of LEGO bricks, and in special, if you love both, do check this book out.
Overall, The Art of the Brick: A Life in LEGO is a pretty interesting book about Nathan's life and creations. It nice to see an artist open up and tell his life story and the meaning behind the builds. The images are crisp and some of them also give you a behind-the-scenes look at the building process.
