Bill Simmons, The Sports Guy, is probably my favorite writer. He's definitely my most favorite sports writer, and if he's not my overall favorite he's gotta at least crack my top 3 writer's list. I try to catch all of his articles over on ESPN.com within The Sports Guy's World of Page 2. If you haven't noticed, his microsite is listed under the "Sites I Like" section in the right-hand column.
Anyway, in his honor (and in hopes of making into one of his columns), I created a Bill Simmons Mosaic Poster over at ZAZZLE, ranging in sizes from a tiny 11 in. x 16 in. sheet to a colossal 4.25 ft. x 6.5 ft wall poster. That's bigger than me! Check it out:

This Bill Simmons photomontage mosaic poster is made up of 750 smaller images of past and present NBA players, both in action and portrait shots. Can you spot Kobe Bryant in his forehead? Even though he writes about all sports (although he mostly just makes fun of hockey), I chose NBA players because basketball seems to be the sport he likes the most. Now that I think about it, I should've just chosen Celtics players, past and present, to make up his portrait. Oh well... too late now.
If people really like this idea (and actually buy a couple of posters), I may actually do some more for famous athletes and other celebrities. Could be pretty cool.
Tell me what you think!
