Excel as Illustrator

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.

Kind of neat but not mean spirited enough. ;P Its far more enjoyable to poke fun at other peoples failed craft attempts than blogging about your own.
Someone out there needs to do an ETSYfail site. I've seen so many horrible crafts that should be mocked (if only to humble the owners on the outrageous prices they THINK their mess is worth). Maybe throw in a Dirtydouble section for people who rip off the ideas of others in ETSY as well,because that's a real fail.

hmm, recently, all neatorama comments and permalink pages are giving me an error. I wonder if it's because I just got IE8... (but i'm not experiencing this on other pages.) odd...

Yes, it just didn't have the same oomph as something like that cake-wrecks site. Reading through a few of them, it had an awful narcissistic tone - "even my failures are fascinating".

@ VideoGameDork - I experienced same issues. I emailed Alex about it. He said it should be fixed. :)

I love that blog. I have had a few craft fails. And I do love how people mock their own failures. I will most likely be submitting stuff, the next time I make soap.
