LEGO Escher Recreations

Andrew Lipson and Daniel Shiu Recreate Impossible Structures

— July 7, 2010 — Life-Stages
These LEGO M.C. Escher recreations are truly amazing. Created by Andrew Lipson and Daniel Shiu, these LEGO models recreate some of Escher's craziest and most iconic drawings.

The best Escher image has to be 'Relativity,' or the room with all of the staircases. If you fancy art and LEGO then you will love these LEGO Escher models. I fancy neither of those things and they still managed to get me.
