Episode 32 – Randall Wilson
In Episode 32 of Tales From The Brick, Jon (8 Bit Bricks) is joined by Randall Wilson, LEGO Masters Season 2 contestant, professional LEGO artist, and founder of Rocs Mocs. Randall shares his journey from building Technic sets as a child to turning a passion for architecture and LEGO into a full-time creative career. Along the way, he reflects on losing his childhood collection in an apartment fire, finding his way back through MOCs, and how LEGO Masters opened the door to opportunities he never imagined.
The conversation dives behind the scenes of LEGO Masters, exploring what it’s really like to build under intense time pressure, the lessons Randall took away from the competition, and how the experience changed the way he approaches storytelling, scale, and color in his creations. He also talks about returning for the Holiday Bricktacular, working alongside Kelly Osbourne, and the friendships that continue long after the cameras stop rolling.
Randall also discusses building culturally inspired LEGO projects, creating large-scale commissioned artwork around the world, and why representation and creativity matter in the LEGO community. From life-size Power Rangers weapons and architectural replicas to an eight-foot heart catheter and interactive public art, this episode is a fascinating look at how one builder transformed a lifelong hobby into a career built brick by brick.
