VIDEO: Hello! My Name is LEGO Blotto! Artwork breakdown!

BEHOLD!  The inspiration and artwork of the Mad Metal Man, Harrison Kopp, knows no bounds.

In this incredible piece of art, Harrison has paid homage to Albany’s greatest band, BLOTTO, in Lego form! This is a first of its kind for the band.

In the artwork you can clearly see the five core members of the band, with their images paying tribute to the “Metal Head” music video (and the Combo Akimbo album in Bowtie Blotto’s case). Their backdrop is a reference to their Across & Down EP, with a crossword puzzle painstakingly made by Harrison. Even the audience members in the photo contain Easter eggs and references to Blotto songs, and maybe even the artist himself.

No AI was used in this image, and only minimal Photoshop was employed.  The lighting itself is made in a very creative and cool way, with physical lights.  Harrison breaks down all the details in the video below. Can you spot them all yourself?

As thanks for creating this art, Harrison has been honoured with the privilege of choosing his own Blotto name.  Watch the video to see what name he chose!
