My answer is sort of on the same lines, so I’ll provide anyway.

1) create a smiley face picture in mspaint, copy-paste to cell G1 so it occupies G1:I8

2) create a frowny face picture in mspaint, copy-paste to cell J1 so it occupies J1:L8

3) create a named range:
name: mypic
formula: =IF($A$1,$G$1:$I$8,$J$1:$L$8)

4) copy-paste your smiley picture to cell A3

5) highlight the new copy then from the formula bar type:
=mypic

6) experiment by typing in A1 either TRUE or FALSE

you’ll need to turn off gridlines for the effect to work right.
