That same year, Spurling worked with Quirk Books to release The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis, which was successful enough to prompt follow-up books in 2004 and 2005. The Brick Testament website continued to receive regular updates throughout the first decade of the 2000s, with Spurling illustrating Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 Kings from the Old Testament, as well as the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles, and Revelation in the New Testament. Spurling says her biggest creative challenge was illustrating the wild visual imagery of the Book of Revelation, but notes that it was also the most rewarding to accomplish.

At the start of the 2010s, Spurling began working with Skyhorse Publishing to publish the entire Brick Testament in a single volume. When this was shown to be unfeasible, the plan was altered to release just the Old Testament as a one-volume book.

Artist and author Brendan Powell Smith grew up, creative and curious, in Norwood. He decided he was an atheist at around 13. His fascination with the matter led him to Boston University, where he graduated in 1995 as a philosophy-religion major, although, he said, “I had no idea what I’d end up doing with that.”

What he did was decide to present Bible stories as they were written — including the sex and violence — and illustrating them with LEGO bricks and elements. The Brick Bible project started as a website, then evolved into books aimed at mature readers, then titles for children.

His first non-Bible project, “Assassination!,” came out in November and details, again with LEGOs, the attempts on the lives of US presidents. His take on Jonah and the whale, for the Brick Bible for kids series, comes out in April.

“I’m very lucky to be living in this age when you can self-publish so easily and get a really big audience if you’re doing something really cool,” he said on the phone from his San Francisco Bay Area studio.
