Conan O'Brien recreated as life-size LEGO statue

‍

An artist who specializes in creating LEGO based artworks has created a life-size statue of Conan O’Brien – for some reason.

‍

Nathan Sawaya – whose works can sell for £10,000 each – says he was commissioned to make the brick-based talk show host, but won’t say by who, or why.

Complete with orange hair and beard, LEGO Conan is wearing a power suit, shirt and tie, and stands with his hands on his hips.

Sawaya has more than 1.5 million Lego bricks in his New York studio and says he can use 150,000 in any one artwork… but not normally this much orange.
