Brick Testament: Cain & Abel

I’m a huge fan of Lego art. I even make some of my own. Below, The Reverend Brendan Powell Smith recreates most of the bible’s stories in Lego form. It’s an unbelievably well executed illustrated companion to the book. At once hilarious, easy to read, and completely earnest. The amount of work that went into Brick Testament is astounding. The whole thing began to take form in 2001, was made into a book around then, and has continued to have a life online since then. You can catch all the stories here. What follows are a couple of excerpts from Cain and Abel’s story.
