Funny but true, the Daily Mail beat you to it:

There are a few other pictures and how well the medium of Lego works for pixelated art.
There are a few people on this thread posting 'things made with Lego' which is a different thing to using Lego for pixelated art.
I think that you could build a small business out of making pixelated Lego for people wanting to buy their new-borns some Lego. Imagine if in the bedroom the Lego starts as a bright picture on the wall, out of reach. Then when they can reach it then see what happens. If they have no Lego then do they work out that you can make things with it? Or do we need marketing and instructions with box artwork?
Also interesting would be a Lego sorting machine that you tipped random bricks into for it to then print out as pixelated art. It would scan the bricks and then show you exactly what images you could make from the bricks and also dither a given image to the palette and availability provided by the bricks dropped into the sorter.

- Theodores 9y agoI think you and I would have built some amazing Lego together had time and geography brought us together in childhood times. There are rules of aesthetics with Lego that a lot of people/kids just did not get. If building a house then the colours would have to be right, or best given available bricks. Some kids just put stuff together with any colours. Not good design. I can't remember guidance from parents on brick colour etiquette and style, that was something we worked out to do, or not, as the case may be.
- KON_Air 9y agoI remember bending out of shape trying to code a program for my mother to help with her (short lived) cross-stitching adventures. Gave up and discovered program (lot's of them as a matter of fact) which prepared excel sheets from image files and decided on colours based on thread manufacturer catalogs. I'll say cross-stitchers beat everyone to it.
