This Stunning Jesus Portrait Is Made From 24,790 Thumb Tacks (Really!)

I have thought it would be awesome to make a picture of Jesus out of real blooming flowers, in heaven.  They never die there.  But then I thought, why would I need to do that?  Jesus will be right there with us, and we will gaze at His beautiful face!  Imagine the love in those eyes...love that says, "I died for you, see the scars in my hands, side and feet?  I am keeping them forever so that you will be reminded of just how much I love you:-)"    Love that says, "I don't judge you for what I think is in your heart.  I know what's in your heart, and I love you anyway. I want to change your heart.  I want you to know that you will never be good enough to gain heaven, but I want to put my goodness in you, so you can know me now, and be with me forever!  PLEASE don't ignore Me."  That's Jesus my friends!
   1 John 3:2, "What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own." 
  Jesus wants to share His heart with yours.  Will you let Him? 
From TheBlaze:
Thumb tacks typically assist people in hanging papers on cork boards or walls. But one artist has taken this basic home and office tool and used it in a unique way — to create a portrait of Jesus Christ. Red, black, white, yellow, green, blue, magenta and purple pushpins were strategically merged together to create a stunning picture.

The Huffington Post has more about how the project took form:
Up close, this work of art may seem like an ambiguous blob, but take a step back and you might just have a divine vision.
Self-described “artistic superstar” Rob Surette used 24,790 colored thumbtacks to create his pushpin portrait of Jesus.
Here’s the portrait:

The project took six months to complete, with Surette working on it one hour per day, seven days per week. After all, the massive portrait is quite large at 22-square feet (5.5 feet by 4 feet).

Oddity Central continues, describing what drove Surette’s decision to create the intriguing portrait:
Rob Surette has been fascinated by pointillism ever since he discovered the art of Georges Seurat, who invented the dot painting technique during the late 1800s. He became a master of it himself and now creates incredible works of art that always has viewers asking how he achieves such elaborate visual illusions…
Before starting work on this portrait, Surette set a record for the world’s largest Lite Brite creation(513,000 pieces), and wondering what other objects he could use to create a portrait out of dots, he settled on push pins.
