In Pictures: Man Creates Wonderfully Geeky Alphabet Blocks for His Son

These are so wonderful! Engineer and designer Jonathan Guberman has created this really cool set of alphabet blocks that totally brings out the inner geek. Each piece features iconic images across the block faces, that Guberman and his wife hope to share with their young son. He writes; “There are 36 blocks — the English alphabet and ten digits — showing 134 images of people, animals, monsters, robots, vehicles, organizations, devices, tools, and objects from some of our favourite movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games, poems, and sculptures, as well as a few from the real world for good measure (and a couple not-so-favourites for comic relief/alphabetical exigency; I’m looking at you, Zardoz). “The only real rule I followed in choosing subjects was trying to maintain an even gender balance.” Here are a few of our favourites: Guberman started making the blocks before his son was born and continued making them until he was almost a year old. The full list of images can be found in this Flickr set. He's a lucky boy! Images via upnotnorth
