Physical ASCII Mosaic

An anonymous submitter, who might be Eric Harshberger, writes: "Some of my past LEGO whackiness seemed to make a few Slashdot readers chuckle, so I thought I'd pass along this link to my latest creation: A mosaic built of thousands and thousands of tiny little letter bricks. Kind of a weird turn on the ol' ASCII artwork." You may remember this guy from the famous Lego desk.

Work of love, marginally art

You'd be hard pressed to get any two people to completely agree on what constitutes art, but this one was creative in that he had to figure out a way to use the blocks he had to create the picture. The picture itself is fairly good for lego art. It's not a monet or dali, but then again neither of them used lego's.

Some might say art is about taking things that no one thought could be art and make it into art, like how andy warhol took soup cans and turned into pop art. Or distorting reality by creating a representation that make the viewer stop and think about the creative process. Some are questionable like Jackson Pollock, who most people would consider junk. So make of the portrait what you will. Lego and calista art? It's probably more artful than calista :)
