MyBrickZI'm continuing the 31216 Dancing Figures. These are larger than I was expecting (the tall ones are over 12"). I really like the detail of the lines showing motion. Those lines defined the style of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/KeithHaring?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KeithHaring</a>, so the figures just wouldn't look right without them.<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Lego?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lego</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AFOL?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AFOL</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/grafitti?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grafitti</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/subwayart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#subwayart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dancing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dancing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/workinprogress?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workinprogress</a>
MyBrickZIf you missed my <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GuessTheSet?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GuessTheSet</a> from yesterday, here is the answer. I got the first figure done from 31216 Dancing Figures. I was a big fan of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/KeithHaring?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KeithHaring</a> back in the day, so this set is a fun one.

Dr. Dani Sanchez<p>First up is a short CBS News piece about Gay artist Keith Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990) from 1982 (<a href="https://youtu.be/W04j0Je01wQ?si=RSfbfxf0RBJk5VlF" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/W04j0Je01wQ?si=RSfbfx</span><span class="invisible">f0RBJk5VlF</span></a>). Haring was known for his bold, pop art-style outline images and his community activism. He passed away due to complications from AIDS in early 1990 but he remains of the most popular artists and activists of his era. His Keith Haring Foundation continues his work in AIDS/HIV, Safe Sex and disenfranchised Youth advocacy. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LaEsoterica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaEsoterica</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PrideMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrideMonth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/KeithHaring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeithHaring</span></a></p>

Keith Haring is an idol of mine, and it’s not solely because of his aesthetics, but how he created his art unbounded and with many mediums. He was an early advocate for HIV awareness, and later on anti-segregation. His art reached pop culture status, but the themes behind it were much deeper, as he told a story of resistance.
