Concrete LEGO minifigures dotted all over Aberdeen
An Aberdeen artist has built tiny LEGO-style concrete minifigures around the city, each with its own local connection, from the airport to the docks.
Local artist who goes by the name The Sketchy Maker online has shared a number of images of his concrete, LEGO-inspired minifigures. From a wizard-hat-wearing magician to a train driver, there are various different types of characters rendered in concrete. Many are appropriate to the area they’re found in, as The Sketchy Maker shared in the comments of their reddit post here.
“There’s a pilot near the airport and a train driver near the station so if you come in either of those ways you won’t have to look far,” they wrote.
Many of the minifigures are hooked to Aberdeen’s own history, such as the Shell worker representing the city’s ties to the oil industry and the surfer, appropriate for the city’s coastal location.
The artist is sharing them for free, seemingly purely for the pleasure of sharing his art with other people.
“It is a lot of fun making them, but it is also a lot of fun sharing them with people,” the artist told BBC Scotland.
In the future, they’re keen to expand the project to other cities, writing on reddit: “I have some other projects I’m working on but would be keen to do some other cities in the future. There are so many figs I would like to do that I haven’t done yet.”

It would be good to have them in all major cities and have an app that you can add them to that tells you what the lego figure represents
