Elvis Presley by Ken Knowlton
According to Ken Knowlton, he has been many things. He cites being a student, teacher, speaker, mathematician, physicist, electron microscopist, computer scientist, researcher, inventor, author, artist, and a critic. He also creates portrait mosaics of famous people using real seashells. As you would imagine, this is a tedious process that involves a lot of trial and error to get everything just right. His shell rendering of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll can be seen below.
