Escher Paintings with Lego Bricks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the prett-pictures dept.

sciuro writes "a couple of guys (A Lipton & D Shiu) have built three of M C Escher's 3D-distorting paintings using Lego bricks (and some carefully chosen camera angles). Balcony, Belvedere & Ascending and Descending are all down at the bottom of the page. Nice!" Some other pretty pieces as well.

    I don't usually do this, though these are pretty darn cool so I setup a mirror!

    While this link of Andrew Lipson' was mentioned back in July, this is not a repeat. The Escher works are newly added in October.

    Go read the original story -- it's about unrelated works.

    I didn't know Escher did any painting.

    In any case, what I see on this page is a couple of guys have built three of M C Escher's lithographs using Lego bricks.
