Larry Moss used to be a street performer in NYC, entertaining wide-eyed tourists and bored locals alike with his imaginative balloon art. Now he’s taken his work a step further and has recreated some of the world’s most famous classical art masterpieces…entirely out of balloons. Wow.

I remember spending countless hours spelling out bad words on my Lite-Brite (like ‘poop’). The artists behind the masterpieces below probably spent their time more productively.
***Artist Joey Syta recently (and painstakingly) recreated a stunning tapestry from the 15th century called “Mon Seul Désir” (My Only Desire), which is part of famous series of tapestries called “The Lady and the Unicorn”. This took 2 years to create and was made with 55,000 Lite-Brite pegs and 36 pegboards.

***And finally, the 3rd biggest Lite-Brite masterpiece was also made by Lori Kanary (remember her from the Asics sneaker?) – it was creatively named “Giant Lite-Brite”, and was inspired by Monet’s “Impression Sunrise”.
