LEGO Artist Profile with Paul Hetherington and The Bricktacular West Coast Modern Show
The Brick City is a large scale installation I created for Buffalo Phil’s Pizza and Grille. It is permanently on display in the restaurant where it is the centerpiece to their train delivered food. You can visit the restaurant anytime or find out more about the display here.
In 2022, I was commissioned to add Star Wars themed addition to the Buffalo Phil’s Brick City.
My design was chosen to become one of the 13 Bricklink Designer Sets. These were released in partnership with LEGO to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Brick in 2019.
We Built this City was on display in the Masterpiece Gallery at Lego House in Billund, Denmark September 2019 - September 2021.
