Will Shortz' face as a crossword?
My crossword-fanatic friend was telling me tonight at the bar about a legendary crossword puzzle in which the black boxes formed a picture of Will Shortz's face. An epic amount of clues, a departure from the normal diagonal symmetry, this was supposedly in the New York Times a number of years ago. Google turns up nothing that I can find ---- DID THIS ACTUALLY HAPPEN? I neeeeeeed to see it!

Art by Ken Knowlton.
Ken was a pioneer in computer graphics, and invented this style of mosaics; his art is probably worthy of a whole FPP in itself.
I had the pleasure of working with him at an internet startup in the late 90s, incredibly smart guy.
