Washed ashore on Siesta Key Beach Tuesday morning was an 8-foot-tall Lego man, his shirt emblazoned with an enigmatic and grammatically challenged message: 'No Real Than You Are.' Similar Lego men with the same grammatical mangling were found on beaches in the Netherlands in 2007 and England in 2008. On the back of the Siesta Key Lego man's shirt is the name 'Ego Leonard' and the number 8.
Ego Leonard is purportedly the name of a Dutch artist, but it wasn't clear if that was a real name or if a real artist was behind the work. On the artist's website he says: My name is Ego Leonard and according to you I come from the virtual world. A world that for me represents happiness, solidarity, all green and blossoming, with no rules or limitations.
