Hello! My name is Jeffrey Kong and I’m a brick artist from Singapore. I hope to spread the joy of the brick with creations that bring back the sense of wonder in you, or put a smile on your face.
I believe in using the humble building brick to create art that’s accessible to all. If you’d like to commission me to create your own brick masterpiece, please contact me.
