Welcome to the FUN HAUS! A celebration of life, through death.
Upon entering, the curtains to the afterlife will be parted. You will face your greatest fears and will come out more alive than ever!
I have always been drawn to those colorful clay Mexican Day of the Dead skeletons, and Mexican style in general. There is so much oportunity to use patterns and crazy color schemes. I find that these translate very well into Lego. Not to mention that the fantasy castle skeleton faces make great Day of the Dead faces.
When I was younger I didn't understand what the Day of the Dead really stood for. I just thought the skeletons were kind of creepy and possibly evil. But the more I learned about it, I found it was really a celebration of Life. For one day and night (November 1st) families gather to remember all the friends and relatives that have passed away. They make decorative altars, use marigolds to decorate their homes, and make tons of skull themed food items. People visit the graves of their loved ones and leave gifts of food. There is singing and dancing, and a parade as well, where people dress up in fancy skeleton costumes with elaborate face painting. It is all very cool!
The Fun Haus captures some of the flavor of the Day of the Dead celebrations. But as with most of my works, there is a twist.
It is also influenced by the paintings of Pooch. Pooch is a very interesting artist with a great eye for making what I would call personality portraits, each with a mandatory roller coaster, pop culture elements and a taste for the macabre. Just like Day of the Dead, very cool!!
I highly recommend his website. www.poochisland.com/ Be sure to check out the Thrill Rides.
Fun Haus! is my attempt to combine these two elements, put them into a Moc that would hopefully be accepted into the Town and Train category at Brickcon, include a bunch of power functions features and hopefully entertain all of you!

"Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have Fun Fun Fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away" - Brian Wilson
Please View On Black. Thanks!

I've only recently discovered how many possibilities and fun the loft really is. The only empty room in the whole house where no one ever goes to, the only thing about it, is that there in no heating and specially at night is surprisingly cold.
PS: Like a lot of my photos, this one is also named after a music album or song ;)
Our singer could vocalize her songs quite well. Now to see if you can figure out all what's going on in the Lego Village. Today's "W" word tells how people make their living by their careers and vocations. What are they called? Frank has the first letter tile--the W. Can you figure out the rest of the word?

Well, it's been doing this for the last 3 hours. They are now saying 1-4 inches. The flakes are still pretty small.
