Details: A while back, Pixar animator Angus MacLane made a splash in the LEGO fan community with a series of small characters he calls "CubeDudes". He's been adding to the set ever since, and a few other builders have taken inspiration from these simple characters. These little guys aren't always very recognizable, but they all have a certain charm. It's an intentionally clunky and impressionistic style. This particular character speaks to me - I think he's one of the more realistic CubeDudes. I've included links above to both this gnome and the larger flickr set of Angus MacLane's CubeDudes.
