That's actually pretty cool. It's fun to zoom in to see all the individual emojis and then zoom out to see the picture look almost like the original.

"I “created” these emoji versions of classic artworks and it was fun for about 10 seconds. Is it pointless and dumb? Yes. But are you gonna try it out with one of the hundred selfies on your phone right now? That’s what I thought."

you know there's a book that's "just" emojis (well, no, symbols in general)? i've been waiting 3 months for delivery (from back when mit had their book sale) and it still hasn't arrived so i can't say how good it is :o(
