Mosaic Art Creator Takes The LEGO Mosaic Maker Out Of The Box!

Tuesday, December 10th, 2019 by Brickfinder

The Bricks World LEGO Certified Store invited us to a sneak peek at a secret project that they have been working on for a good portion of 2019.

The Mosaic Art Creator (MAC) is a spiritual evolution to the LEGO Mosaic Maker which allows you to make mosaics right from your mobile device.

The Mac is a crafty mobile application which converts existing images or photos that you took into black and white mosaic art pieces.

The LEGO Mosaic Maker is more like a photo booth in which it takes a photo of you in a controlled setting which poses some limitations.

The application frees you from the confines of a photobooth and it is able to produce a mosaic of any image that you can get your hands on. Want a mosaic of your pet or favourite comic character? Not a problem.

However, the application isn’t without some limitations as well. For starters, the it has some difficulty removing the background from any image so some photoshop tweaking might be needed to produce a clearer mosaic.

Here is how you can ‘design’ your mosaic and get the bricks for it.

Step 1: Download the application

The Mosaic Art Creator is only available for Android at the moment as the iOS version is still waiting for approval from the iTunes store. You can download the android version here.

Step 2: Take photo or upload an image

Step 3: Choose your preferred mosaic

I tried it out with an image of Audrey Hepburn and the resulting mosaic came out quite clear with a uniform background.

Step 4: Send the order to Bricks World

Once the order is sent, you can collect your bricks at the Bricks World LEGO Certified Store Ion Orchard in Singapore.

This mosaic service will set you back SGD$209.90 which if you compare to the LEGO Mosaic Maker’s USD$129.99 is actually quite close in terms of price.

You will receive enough 1×1 plates to complete your mosaic rounded up for each colour (Black, White, Light Bluish Grey and Dark Bluish Grey).

It is available now and there is a contest running where you can win your very own mosaic. All you need to do is to download the application, create a mosaic and upload it to social media with the hashtag #mosaicartcreator.

You would have to be residing in Singapore to participate as the prize can only be collected at the store. Happy Bricking!
