It is unclear how much Nathan Sawaya was paid to create the sculpture, but he was commissioned to create the piece. He writes, "I was commissioned to create a giant Blackberry Tour 9360 smartphone out of LEGO bricks. But there was a catch. It couldn't be just a static replica, it needed to have a video screen that really worked. Fun."

add to "the art of the brick museum show", which Sawaya tours around
