Portraits of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe made from dice

Some people like mini-golfing in their spare time, others engage in a match of ping pong. And then there are those that play dice. David Alvarez, a performance artist, takes the latter to a whole new level by using 14,000 die (dices?) to create portraits of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.

Playing items seem to do it for him, somehow. He also has a project where he turns 336 Rubic Cubes, in different color settings, into an image of The Joker Another fantastic idea? A Jimi Hendrix portrait made from 8,568 playing cards. We wonder what's next? A portrait of Obama using 10,000 Scrabble tokens?
