Welcome to Brick Panda, the place where I showcase my Lego and Lego-related brick creations. Each set is custom designed and assembled from Lego and/or Lego-compatible brick pieces.
About Me

My name is Eugene Chiang and I create miniature brick artworks. I been playing with Legos at a young age, but never got into collecting until Lego started coming out with the modular building series. These modular building series were miniature buildings that mimic real-life buildings. I begin collecting these modular building sets and then got into building my own sets. All sets that I create, all have something meaningful to me. I wanted to use Lego and Lego related bricks to teach people about Taiwan (where I am from originally) and the Chinese culture.
