Banksy Masterpieces Reimagined in Lego Form
We love LEGO. And we love Banksy. So what happens when you put these two together? As photographer Jeff Freisen has shown, the answer is a whole lot of awesome.
Frisen reimagines Banksy’s world-renowned images by giving them the minimal look of Lego bricks. Fans can chuckle through more of Freisen's Bricksy collection by visiting his website, A Brick Fantastic, or Instagram.
