The Michelangelo of Microsoft Excel

Great Big Story:

When Tatsuo Horiuchi retired, he decided to try his hand at art. But instead of spending money on paints and brushes, Horiuchi used what he already had pre-installed on his computer—Microsoft Excel. Now, the 77-year-old artist is creating remarkably intricate digital masterpieces of the Japanese landscape, all on the free graphing software.

Mind. Blown. I can barely add 2+2 in Excel and this guy is creating art with it.

  1. Microsoft office is evil. This just goes to show that even the greatest evil can, with enough effort, be turned to good.

  2. If it makes you feel better Shawn, I’m not entirely sure he can add 2+2 in Excel either. He’s phenomenal with the line tool and bucket though!
