We all played with Legos as kids, and, heck, probably as adults. But few of us use them as art or turn the bricks into a business.

At Salt Lake Comic Con, I met Jen Raine Smart, a Lego artist. I was intrigued by a life-size Wonder Woman she made for the con.

Jen got her start with murals then progressed to 3-D statues. We talk about how she got started, how she picks her subjects and what’s next in her progression as an artist.

Find more about Jen Raine Smart on Twitter @JenRaineSmart, on YouTube, on Facebook or at her Once Upon a Brick Etsy store.
