Mystery Lego man found at beach

ETA: more info on the page, a Dutch artist is behind it.
Also, I like the second pic on the page from last year. It looks like the lego man is about to grab the guy's head. ;o)

This is rather cheeky. The top left button with his name looks like the Lego logo (red background, white lettering with yellow bordering).
I wonder if this indeed a marketing campaign by Lego because otherwise they'd be a bit annoyed at his use of their identities.

It looks a bit too peculiar to be them... mm, I'm sure they would be annoyed, although maybe he can claim fair use for artistic purposes?

Possibly. I really don't know the legal situation in such a case. Companies tend to get rather cross when people use things that sometimes are only vaguely reminiscent of logos/products.
