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.

I think this guy is an amateur as well.
One with too much time on his hands.
Here is his site: http://www.lipsons.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/lego.htm

*eyetwitch*

How can ANYONE have that kinda patience!!!????

talent in which i admire.

how the heck do you build an imposible shape? and page takes forever to load on this comp...

At the link I posted he explains how he built the structures and cheated some of the pics.

fair enough *checks*

yeh if you look closely, you can see that theyre not impossible shapes after all.

Still makes my eyes water a bit, pretty good though

lol, they still are cool. and just as confusing to look at the camera shots that show how its done as it is to look at the illusion model...

How the hell could someone make them in the first place, the original drawings I mean

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.

we can tell he's a genuis!

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.
