Connected by a love of LEGO
(albeit in North America!) in designing the amazing pop-up book. An engineering student, Grant
has long been fascinated by pop-up books, and wanted to apply some of the same mechanical
ideas to LEGO bricks and then encase them in a LEGO brick book. Jason, a computer software
developer, then joined the project. After several iterations and two years of tweaking, they ar-
rived at a design to submit as a LEGO Ideas project.

building, Jason and Grant collaborated across national borders

Both guys have been designing and building custom
LEGO sets for years. Jason's interests are in machines,
robots and kinetic sculptures (jkbrickworks.com),
while Grant's childhood obsession with
pirate-themed designs can be seen on his
Flickr page at flickr.com/photos/93970753@N05.
So what does it feel like to have their project
chosen as an official LEGO Ideas set? "I was
ecstatic!" says Grant, while Jason felt like he was
"walking on a cloud all day."
