Creators of stop-motion movies have a way of continually blowing my mind. This video from Rubikcubism artist [Space Invader](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellar-works) is no exception. The artist manipulates a box full of Rubik’s cubes into artwork.

The stop-motion Rubik’s cube animation by Space Invader shows him creating the classic album covers of [The Beatles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beatles-x-crocs-classic-clog) and The Clash. As someone who can’t even make one side of a Rubik’s cube a set color, I’m filled with nothing but respect for this video. Check out the short but incredible work of Space Invader above.
