Friday Burst of Weirdness

I've always thought that mosaic is a pretty cool artistic medium, even before I read Guy Gavriel Kay's The Sarantine Mosaic, in which the protagonist is a mosaicist. Classical mosaic involves small squares of colored glass, arranged to make a larger picture or design. But you could also use other colored squares to compose mosaics, and think of the extra challenge if your colored squares are part of a famous puzzle device from the early 1980s!

That's right, it's Rubik's Cube Art, in which the "mosaics" are composed of stacked Rubik's Cubes with the outer faces specifically arranged into the correct color schemes for the pictures.
