There is a shop in Cincinnati (I can't remember its name, I was there only one time), but it had cool wall-sized cover recreations made of Lego pieces.

I wonder how long it takes to do one of these.

I get that he's definitely piecing together shards.  Just curious where he gets the shards that he uses.  If it's random pieces from various sources, it's going to take a lifetime to find the right combinations so he better charge a fortune!  If he works from recreated art that he shatters, it's more efficient but there's still the question of how the shards on certain parts like Captain America's name and the stripes in his shield from Ave#4 are so perfectly outlined/bordered.  Cracks don't generally exactly follow the lines of drawings or words like that when you shatter stuff!  But regardless of how he does it, it looks like we're talking about a lengthy creative process.

Very cool take on custom ceramic tile. I love the end result of Moroccan Tile manufacturing and this something to inspire any ceramicists out there.

The store was Captain Coomics it's no longer in business and I got a picture of his Batman #405 cover made out of legos back in 2013.

I think that cover was a great choice because it looks like Iron Fist busted the picture he is in with his fist. :-)

Those are cool. I think the ones based on simpler covers work best. I'd like to see the Lego covers, too.
