"New York pop artist Michael Albert is best known for his “pop cubist” cereal box collages. Michael's unique style was born one day when he decided not to throw out an empty Frosted Flakes cereal box, and to see what he could make of it instead. From that day forward, he has diligently gathered the symbols of commercial America that surround us, and turned them into a series of collages with a wide array of themes. One of them is, of course, the number Pi." From http://www.teachpi.org/links/poster.htm. Check out the website for all things Pi, from stories to songs!
