Nion Radio With Nick Onken

I thought it was so cool that this toy could interact with all my other toys. Today I’m talking to a truly unique artist whose medium is Lego: Adam Ward. Adam makes sculptures and murals, does commissions, and worked on the Lego Batman movie. He has a series with Soul Pancake on YouTube called Brick x Brick. He played with Lego a lot when he was younger but never dreamed it could turn into a career. But with a kickstarted campaign and some great connections, he has made with happen. Today Adam is offering us his insights into Lego world. He’s talking about his artistic process, and how he started to make money with his Lego work. It’s a pretty fascinating conversation - Adam’s story goes to show that truly anything is possible. It’s so fun to invite people to interact with art, to mess with it to put their own spin on it.
