If he has to go through any sort of recruiting agency or multi-tiered HR
structure, the original piece wouldn't stand a chance, IMO.

No idea.

In a prior postion as the maktg director for a small software and services
firm, where I was manually eyeballing resumes and calling the shots, this
would have made the top of the A pile. The ingenuity is very appealing, but
as many have noted, even something as minor as an e-mail address can raise
doubts. And had I been in this position and noted the lossiness of the data,
et al., I probably would have grilled the guy—with some deliberate
misleading questions that beg for corrections—to truly test his knowledge of
both conventional and digital graphics arts.
