Six-side dice as pixelated Madonna

Robert bought a bunch of six-sided dice from Amazon and created this amazing table top with an image of the Madonna, mapping a six-color grey-scale image to each face of the dice.

Looks nothing like Madonna, more like a nun.

@#1(&2):
I was soo expecting a comment like that :)
Like straight from the pointe of some joke.

Anyhow, this seems like the evolution of ascii-art

This would absolutely awesome if the subject was anything else in the universe other than Madonna.

@airship:

One side of my brain totally agrees with you. Bad subject matter. Very bad.

But, the other side of my brain says...ha, nice juxtaposition. The irony was not lost on me...

Guys? The Madonna? Mother of the Catholic Christ?

Ohhh, so funny!

I totally agree with #9, though, Fujiya & Miyagi is a great band with an awesome video.

Joel, your symantics are right on. No female in her right or left mind would confuse the two.

Damn my Catholic upbringing. I think I will finally shed its last remnants at the very moment before I pass on to the...to the...world where worms eat my corpse.

I'm glad I was told what the sculpture was depicting... Otherwise, my first comment would have been:

"Why so serious?"
