A Foo Fighters has painstakingly created an impressive portrait of Foo Fighters vocalist Dave Grohl using 725 Rubik’s Cubes.

Sharing a photo of the impressive portrait of Dave, Contardi wrote: “Seeing the Foo Fighters concert a few months ago here in Melbourne has been one of the most inspiring moments.”
