It can be solved without guessing, just with a little border logic. In fact, the first bit of border logic was almost the first thing I did when I saw the puzzle. The 22 in the right most column, with nothing but 2's next to it cries out for it. We know that the block of 22 cannot cross more than two consecutive rows whose rightmost number is bigger than 1. Since there are lots of rows with rightmost numbers bigger than 1 at the top and bottom, we can eliminate a lot of squares at the top and bottom of the rightmost column. This narrows down the location of the 22 block enough to get all sorts of stuff going. Finishing the puzzle requires a slightly trickier version of the same trick in the leftmost column. All the rest is simple line solving. Nice puzzle.

Well, I went and guessed in a few places, but I still thought it was a terrific puzzle - very satisfying to solve and a good picture at the end. :-) Thanks!

This one was slow and picky starting for me but then finished rather quickly. Wonderful image. The title gave it away for me.

Love the crazy eye!

And normally I don't like the angular look, preferring more curvature, but it looks pretty cool, like it's the style you were going for.
