I need to have an animation marathon here at home after seeing 25 Years of Pixar a second time and now discovering these Lego pieces by Ochre Jelly. This Nausicaa glider and the Totoro here are my favorites among a really strong set of Miyazaki tributes.
I came across Ochre Jelly's work after doing a Google image search for a Totoro face because my niece had contorted hers, reminding me of the Miyazaki character. I saw an image of Jelly's perfect capture of Totoro's shape and personality and just did a little digging till I discovered his sets on Flickr.
I commented on his diorama, and he mentioned Bricks by the Bay in the South Bay. Sounds like a good time that my family and friends would probably want to check out.
Time to find my bucket of Legos!
