Homer Simpson - Backing Into the Hedge

This LEGO art piece captures one of my favorite moments from The Simpsons. In the 1994 episode Homer Loves Flanders, Homer sneaks up on his unsuspecting neighbour by moving through a hedge in a smooth, emotionless motion. After Flanders declines his invitation, Homer wordlessly retreats back into the hedge in the same fashion. This classic moment from the show's golden age has since become one of the most recognizable Simpsons memes.

This design is meant to be a piece of striking 3D LEGO artwork, either standing upright on its base or mounted on a wall. The design features Homer emerging from the lush green foliage, with one leg extending outward for added depth.

One of my favourite details in this build is the clever use of a black claw piece to recreate Homer’s distinct hair.
