It does not “mix” studs out and sideways bricks... but the technique is similar to what you’ve proposed here. You are correct, the techniques do work best on drawings not photographs.

Given the thousands of tiles it took to make my Mad Hatter mosaic, I don’t think I’ll be doing another such personal project for a while (though I think I completed it in about a week).
