Tadashi is awesome! I love his video explaining how someone found a prime that looks like the Arms of Trinity Hall [1]. Highly recommend all videos from Numberphile [2] and Fermat's Library [3]. [1] [VIDEO] [2] [LINK] [3] [LINK]

A nice example are the drawings using prime numbers. For example see "The Trinity Hall Prime - Numberphile" [VIDEO] "The Emerging Art of Drawing in Prime Numbers" [LINK]
