I hope you all know the work of the Dutch graphical artist M.C.Escher (if not, visit http://www.mcescher.com).
Recently I came across some great pics of a project to built his litho's with lego (and a lot of photoshop cheating off course). I think they're great.

That's pretty cool...not just the lego, but the tought that you can actually make a living out of building lego stuff. :) There's a Belgian artist who makes bustes of ppl with lego as well, but he's a voice imitator (and a good one) as basic occupation. I'll see if i can find some pics of his legowork.

One with too much time on his hands.

He was also a mathematician. Apart from that I think he was also a genius and made a lot of sketches before making the final drawing.

Here's some more of his work. He liked to draw figures that fit in each other, like with these cirkle limits. I also think his drawing hands are great.
