This is kinda cool but the pictures are the standard interpretations of what mathematicians imagine. I would have liked to see some non-standard approach with a bit more abstraction.

I don't know about the "standard interpretation"... the first picture is usually expressed with all of the "squares" of equal size (it's a matrix), and an "x" through each digit at (x_n, y_n), n being positive integers.

Some of them are pretty standard but, IMHO, for most of them he struck a nice balance between the standard and artistic interpretation.
