Michael Kulesza, a Polish creative who blends his photography experience with his keen eye for visual art, recreated some popular meals and various other everyday items with LEGO building blocks.

For one image, he shows a pixelated egg in a frying pan, with the whites of the egg created by flat blocks placed together strategically and the yolk formed similarly in yellow over top. Another image shows cheese coming from a grater as bright yellow blocks of various sizes. A fast food container of fries is created with the same technique, however the blocks are made to be longer. In other images, Michael Kulesza represents bills in a wallet with flat green support blocks and a man's tie with different widths of black supports.
