I put together an instructable on how to use limited palette gifs to make nice lego or pushpin portraits.
(And even there I didn’t use any actual pushpins)
The dithering in the 5 color gifs produces images that look much better to me, with the illusion of intermediate colors, than ones produced just by posterizing the image into 5 bands of the closest flat colors you can find.
You want a Legofied Goatse?
Now I want a LEGO portrait of Tolkein’s elf characters.
Look ma, I can process an image and call myself an artist…
Username checks out.
Like a program that converts images to ascii art, only the output is Lego art instead. That’s how I would do it, anyway.
Maybe someone could write a “Legofy” filter for The GIMP.
There’s already many web pages, tutorials and apps already dedicated to this:

doesn’t take much research to discover how unoriginal the concept is…
As the old saying goes, “MODERN ART = I CAN DO THAT + YEAH, BUT YOU DIDN’T”
my point was - lots of others did…
Yeah, I think you’re right. After it was pointed out that there was no logo I went back and looked more closely. The logo could be easily 'shooped for various reasons, but the bricks fit a little too tightly to ring true. Maybe if you went in and straightened each one, but the gaps are a little too perfect.
More tellingly the shading on each block is pixel for pixel identical…
The ones in the article are photoshopped. They have really been done and also better faked previously.
