Excel as Illustrator - Neatorama

We have seen Microsoft Excel used as a drawing tool before, but not like this. YouTube user and artist shukei01 put this time-lapse video together that shows almost 13 hours of work. "Autoshape can be used to do lineart, colors, shadows, lighting effects and layers, like some drawing software."

Anyone know who does the music?

Ummm...looks like he's using tools that could be similarly used in Word or PowerPoint. Not too sure there's really all that much creativity involved. Anyone with a enough time could draw whatever they wanted in these applications. It doesn't make them efficient or useful for artistic expression.

Is anybody really surprised by this? He's just using the basic drawing features in Excel.

I'm sure it's been thoroughly tested and has no negative side-effects, like, say, increasing risk for cancer. Right? Right?

Why does that make me think of the officer who praised his men for shooting a non-violent demonstrator in the head with rubber bullets?

And now I see people trampling each other in panic to get away, those who got trampled down getting second degree burns in addition and the military reassuring everybody, that's it's really necessary and totally safe. Who cares about burns or blisters, they don't last long anyway.

Sometimes I wonder about the scientists who develope those things...

I guess I'll have to add a Faraday cage to the combat helmet, gas mask, and gloves I already wear to express my civil liberties.
