MC Escher drawings re-created with Lego
Another Escher picture rendered in LEGO. My friend Daniel Shiu and I worked on this as a joint project after we finished our rendition of Escher's "Balcony". When we started we expected to have to indulge in some very dirty tricks in software to hack around with the photograph, but in fact we didn't need to - although we did discover a few nasty surprises that Escher had hidden in the picture (other than the obvious one). And we had to get the camera position just right for the picture to come out OK. What? You thought those floors were rectangles?
