This has been done before...

But that was for original artistic expression, and not just recreating something. Surat pre-invented the dot matrix printer, using ROYGBIV instead of CMYK.

I think the dedication of simply copying something is very therapeutic for those involved, I have heard that people need to occupy parts of the brain in order to let other parts do some thinking.

This, however, seems like a complete waste of time.
