Artist David Alvarez has created this impressively calculated mosaic of dice that features both Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. Inspired by the Rubik's cube art of Space-Invader, this black and white pointillist piece is mind-boggling when you take a look at how it's been generated.
With great precision, Alvarez produced the mosaic by first featuring James Dean, followed by a perplexing metamorphosis into the sultry image of the blonde 1950s icon.
