Numberphile with Tadashi Tokieda on the Trinity Hall Prime, a prime number whose digits form a picture of the college's coat of arms, left as a gift by a departing mathematician.

Cited as the origin of the prime-number portrait trend and as an example of drawings made with primes.

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] ▶ this video [2] link [3] link

A nice example are the drawings using prime numbers. For example see "The Trinity Hall Prime - Numberphile" ▶ this video "The Emerging Art of Drawing in Prime Numbers" link
