Bricksy: Unauthorized Underground Brick Street Art Details

Review "What happens when you put LEGO bricks and some of street artist Banksy's most iconic works together? As photographer Jeff Friesen has proved, the answer is a whole lot of awesome." —Huffington Post"LEGO and world-famous street artist Banksy have collided in a new product that takes everything you love about the latter's work, and literally builds on it." —FastCoCreate"Photographer Jeff Friesen combines two seemingly disparate pop culture obsessions—LEGO and street art—to create a project guaranteed to go viral." —Artnet News"Friesen cleverly reimagines Banksy's world-renowned images, giving them a considerable clean up.

Friesen infused each scene with his own funny sense of humor." —My Modern Met Read more About the Author Jeff Friesen’s photography has received worldwide acclaim for a remarkably diverse array of work.
