I've been trying to give my one hour every day to this art (and succeeded in doing so in at least half of the days) since the announcement of this competition; however, I believe that I could've done a better job if there were just about ten more days in the deadline of the competition (later on, after this art competition, I might produce a better version of this mosaic).
P.S. I'd recommend y'all to go and have a look at the 2010 year pages of
Bitcoin Discussion. They're "extremely" interesting; I didn't know about that either until I designed the 2010 part!
