Or how about indigenous Australian art? You know, the pictures of kangaroos or patterns all made from dots. Only our dots would all have "Lego" written on them like studs do.

Ahh, I have it this time. We get one of those "snow domes" with the Opera House or Ayers Rock (or both!) and open it up (caution, children, don't try this at home), insert a couple of singlet-wearing Bruce and Sheila minifigs, and reseal it.
