In one of the more interesting collaborations in recent times, LEGO looks to be having an upcoming partnership with Lofi Girl very soon. Formerly known as ChilledCow, Lofi Girl is a YouTube channel that provides livestreams of lo-fi hip hop music and usually has the iconic girl in the green sweater studying or relaxing.

To help answer those questions, we are pleased to feature a guest article from Deep Shen discussing building LEGO spheres. Deep’s amazing portfolio of work can be found at Towering Brick Creations, on his Flickr page and on Instagram. Round Shapes Out of Square Bricks LEGO is not a medium that is inherently suited to building round shapes. After all, the basic building block – a 1×1 brick has a square footprint and a LEGO baseplate has studs placed in a regular square grid.
