Posting code? Use <pre> tags for VBA and <code> tags for inline.
Well…color me impressed.
Is spanish… and amazing.
The first one runs in just under 5 minutes. In the description it says:
Real length: 12 hours 56 minutes
Wow on two counts. That’s a lot of work for 13 hours, and 13 hours is a long time to spend on something like this (I’m assuming it wasn’t 13 hours in one sitting).
Crazy people with nothing else to do! :)
Libro and Hoja are the spanish translations of Book and Sheet.

Apparently, she wrote a book about drawing with Excel, but couldn’t find a publisher.
Oh man. My wife is going to kill me if she finds out I didn’t know ‘book’ in Spanish. I swear I thought it was ‘libra’. Good thing she gets glassy-eyed when she reads my blog.
[…] Drawing in Excel was featured on Daily Dose of Excel yesterday. If you’re not artistic, you can use the ExcelArt program that was mentioned in these Excel tweets. I tried the free version, and it worked well in Excel 2007, but I can’t think of any practical applications for it. […]
Goodness. I think I’d still file these under “just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should” though.
“she wrote a book about drawing with Excel, but couldn’t find a publisher.”
She could have used Lightning Source. Maybe she needed more help on the publishing side.
First results for “excel art” point to artoffice.com and Danielle Aubert.
I admire her but agree with Mike W.
I can only say, why? It’s like building boats out of matchsticks. Totally pointless.
I got bored after one minute, was annoyed by the soundtrack, so turned it off.
John: Did she do the lady in the hat also? That’s the first Excel drawing I remember.
Wow, more than meets the eye. It’s always fun to see how many comments it takes until someone says, “This person has too much time on their hands.” If they enjoyed the challenge, why begrudge them?
