Artist Jason Freeny asks us to suspend our disbelief for this mashup of two of my favorite things ever: anatomy and Lego. Surprisingly, after ripping the interchangeable heads and legs off hundreds of Lego people during my misspent youth, I find I can almost believe they *are* alive.

I want! That would go so well in my office, right next to my print of Michael Sowa's Sailors, and my personally autographed TMNT drawing done by Kevin Eastman.
