Cool effect! It feels a bit like a deep-fried meme to me, but that might just be me!

I tried doing something similar a couple of years ago and gave up after running into the exact same issues in the post. It's really difficult to replicate proper halftoning on a computer screen without getting moiré patterns and weird artifacts because of PPI, aliasing, and other stuff. Beyond that, print and screens are just fundamentally different ways of rendering things.
