Many people are Patriots fans, but few turn that love into pointillist portraiture.

Maxim Lin, a 9-year-old boy from Westwood, Massachusetts, used 999 Rubik's cubes to create a massive work of art featuring quarterback Tom Brady's face. This video shows the grueling process that Maxim used to make the picture. The image stands more than seven feet tall and is over five feet wide (that's 37 cubes up and 27 across).

Relying on patience, skill, and a trusty step stool, Maxim assembled the structure which weighs around 300 pounds for his school STEM festival.

So good luck to Maxim. We think Georges Seurat, the father of pointillism, would be very proud.
