Escher lego

One of my favourite artists, Escher, has had his Relativity lithograph from 1953 recreated in LEGO. A great effort in terms of closeness. Don’t you agree?

    Pure genius. Is there nothing Lego can’t do? :-)

    Brilliant! Legos rule.
    I ran across your site yesterday, and have enjoyed everything I’ve read. Your design stuff is really inspirational. I especially liked the Sinkit logo design process post. Thanks.

    Chris, with LEGO you can achieve your dreams. At least until you turn eight years old.

    Many thanks for your kind compliment Randa. It’s much appreciated!

    That’s so cool. I’m going to show my 8 year old, lego fanatic, son this and see if he can build it.

    Great idea Greg! That’ll keep him busy. If he constructs a replica please take a photo and I’ll post it! :)

    That’s brilliant David. Lego is so cool. My oldest boy is nearly out of Duplo and so nearly ready for the real thing but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to bring myself to hand over my Lego X Wing Fighter.

    Will it be possible to buy a poster of the lego Relativity? I bet you could sell a ton of them!
