Domino portrait of Martin Gardner
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoOK, this isn't new, it isn't news, and it was done (not by me, I hasten to add!) by hand, without a computer, and I think it's impressive. It's a portrait of Martin Gardner using 6 sets of 9x9 dominoes. Knowing Gardner's work for decades, I was honored to be able to spend an afternoon with him in March, 2010. Still wonderfully active and inventive at the age of 95, I felt seriously out-classed in so many ways. Having read so many of his books, I felt I knew him, and he was kind, generous and friendly, as if he knew me. This portrait was on the wall. I'll miss him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Gardner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Gardner
