A "Lego Man" created by a SXSW attendee

Yes, SXSW Interactive folks are here to create and learn about the latest and greatest in technology and Web design. But sometimes it takes visiting your childhood roots to bring out that creative spark.

Every year inside the Austin Convention Center you’ll find the Lego corner. It’s exactly what the name implies, a corner piled high with Legos of all kinds for kids and adults to play with. In many cases, great pieces of little “Lego art” emerge from the pile.

I thought I’d share some photos of the pieces SXSW attendees have created so far before heading off to more panels.
