Sep 4 2007Man Makes Escher's "Relativity" with LEGOs
Andrew Lipson, a LEGO building genius, has recreated M.C. Escher's "Relativity" with LEGOs. It looks damn good, and I think it is safe to say that he should win some kind of award for doing such a bang up job. Just don't look at it for too long though, because I think I did, and now my head is spinning and I just threw up Fruity Pebbles on my sleeping girlfriend.
A few more of the construction after the jump, along with the original for comparison.

totally awesome! I wish I was that skilled at using LEGO's

Impressive. Although I'd like to see him make a lego replica of my wang. That surely would be worthy of an award.
Saying that, I don't think there'd be enough lego in the world to complete the job. He'd just have to start cellotaping oak trees to the top of it to get the scale right.

The Impossible Waterfall was better.
Or would that actually be worse?

Great lego work but seriously, last year won't get off the phone wanting it's news back

Making that out of legos was kind of lame, but nowhere near as pathetic as people that stay up to date on lego art and then brag about how they already knew about the lego "relativity" piece. Referencing lego art as "old news" to you, is the equivalent of bragging about being a 28 year old virgin. Losers.
