You never expect the clean, minimal look of Lego (http://mashable.com/category/lego/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) bricks and gritty street art to go hand-in-hand. But the modular toy is even more versatile that you think.

Photographer Jeff Friesen (https://twitter.com/ABrickFantastic) takes the subversive artworks of elusive street artist Banksy (http://mashable.com/category/banksy/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) and builds on them with his Lego-inspired ******, Bricksy. Friesen, along with his daughter, is a Lego enthusiast who incorporated Lego into many of his projects including 50 States of Lego (http://mashable.com/2013/11/28/50-states-of-legos/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) and The Great Lego **rth (http://www.thebrickfantastic.com/the-great-lego-**rth-canada/).

Friesen cleverly reimagines Banksy's world-re**wned images, giving them a considerable clean up. When placing the originals in a more light-hearted context, the subversive artworks are subverted themselves in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. For Friesen, it's all about getting a good laugh.
