Artist Ai Weiwei has accused Lego of \"censorship and discrimination\" after the company refused to let him to use its bricks in a new exhibition.

Lego refused a bulk order for bricks that were to be used in a new artwork about political dissidents as part of an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.

Toymaker Lego said it never sold directly to anyone wanting to use its product to make a political statement.Do you think Lego are right to refuse Ai sale, or will this turn out to be a bad move for them? Could they change their mind?/home/news/ai-weiwei-refused-bulk-order-of-lego-for-new-exhibition-r22/\">More on the article here.

Great pieces of work. Yeah they\'re quite comic-book style, which is a nice touch. A hint of pop art too perhaps?

Great picture, an interesting range of colours. Though I reckon it would work well in black and white, it would look like a scene from a horror film!

Brilliant shot. Simple but so effective. Amazing contrast between the bright sky (especially love the changing shades) with the silhouette of the bird and the black ground.

I love the various dimensions in this, so the ball railing right at the front, the clock tower in the centre, the houses and trees in the background, and then the water underneath. Great job!

Absolutely gorgeous. I\'m a big fan of sunsets, I remember when I went to Ibiza a few years ago, which is known for having a stunning sunset on the west side of the island, and the feeling of joy, harmony and fulfilment which filled me every time I saw the sun go down will never leave me. Thank you for posting this collage as it\'s beautiful.

Great piece! So bold and colourful, and there\'s a lot of detail too.

Absolutely stunning work. The second picture, of the flowers, really got to me. It\'s beautiful.

They're really cute! Good work.

Stunning. The contrast between the colours makes it really stand out. It looks as if the sea and the sky merge into one almighty circle of energy, and then there's the monk standing nonchalantly on the edge of the cliff, as if he wants to harness that power.

Beautiful. I love the contrast between the blackness of night, the icy moon, the fiery background and the energy emanating from the wolf.

Really pretty. I love the blend of colours, they really stand out. Keep up the good work!

Lovely drawing, I love the rich, bold colouring.
