The Little Artists

John Cake and Darren Neave, aka the Little Artists, work in many different mediums, but my favorite is the recreations of famous artworks in Lego. From Hirst to Warhol to Gilbert and George, Cake and Neave add a dash of humor to works which are already a little offbeat. I don't know exactly why Legos make everything more interesting, an example being the Brick Testament, but for some reason I find the Lego versions to be just as interesting as the actual works of art they depict.
