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.

Yes; while there a couple of years ago we were told to essentially: 1) close our eyes and, 2) walk at a constant pace NO MATTER WHAT. 2) allows the millions of scooters to anticipate and avoid you as you cross. 1) is the only thing that allows for 2). Ear plugs and a rosary help, too.

Reminds me of when I was stationed in Naples Italy many years ago. The key was to watch the vehicles out of the corner of your eye. Then just step out into the traffic. If a driver makes eye contact they will not stop. First few times were fairly tough on the nerves but it got real easy after some practice. The drivers always stopped just in time with no horns blaring. That in itself was strange for Neapolitans! GGG

I agree that it must be a fake. I've never experienced anything like this so it can't be real. It is very colourful and sharp and he is a caucasian which is the real give away. It's Vietnam! No Europeans have ever been there! Not to mention the pixels. Someone has spent a lot of time and energy faking this. Who cares why? I can now continue my life secure in the knowledge that things I am incapable of imagining can't exist. Phew!

That's how we cross the street in the Philippines. But that talent does not translate to crossing the street here in the US. People freak out when you attempt to cross in the same manner.
