LEGO bricks have long transcended their original purpose of being toys. Thanks to the endless possibilities they offer, LEGOs are now being used in all sorts of different ways, including being material for impressive works of art.

Artist Sean Kenney uses LEGOs as the main material for his large-scale animal sculptures. From zebras and eagles to insects and sea creatures, Kenney manages to craft a realistic depiction of animals from every corner of the animal world by using only small plastic bricks.

According to Kenney, LEGOs have been his fascination since a young age. This fascination persisted even when he grew up, with the only difference being that his creations became more sophisticated.

But even as his approach changed and his projects took months to complete, building LEGO models never stopped affording him the same kind of fun. 

“As an art medium, it’s wonderful to see people’s reactions to what I create. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen someone look at my work and frown,” Kenney said in a recent interview with deMilked. “The LEGO makes it inherently whimsical, which I love. Art doesn’t have to be so serious all the time.”

Joseph Kraham is a full-time engineer who described himself as a “horrible” artist who didn’t know how to draw, paint or even shade. But that changed in 2014 when he decided to memorialize their beloved dog who passed away by creating a portrait using LEGO.

“Artwork Lego render in memory of Samson (our first dog). He was an awesome Great Dane and is the reason I started my artwork journey,” Kraham wrote on Instagram.

Since then, the artist began to create LEGO mosaics that he donates to charities or popular athletes. Three years later, he has created 40 art pieces and spent approximately 2300 hours on his LEGO artwork.

Kraham specializes in pointillism – a painting technique using tiny dots of various colors to create an image. He uses Acrylic Lacquer aerosol spray to paint the LEGO pieces.
