Pop Japan

Meet Tatsuo Horiuchi, dubbed as the MichaelAngelo of Microsoft Excel, he paints not by any paint tool such as photoshop but MS Excel that is supposedly used for making graphs and spreadsheet calculations.  The 79 years old Tatsuo Horiuchi shunned the idea of using expensive paint tools, canvas, supplies, and dedicated painting software. Instead, Horiuchi took advantage of the power of vector drawing that is used for drawing shapes and graphs.  For more than 15 years, he draws sceneries of mountains, forests, cherry blossoms, lakes, castles, falls, winter and autumn landscapes. The advantage of using vector art is that it does not lose its quality even it's scaled upwards or enlarged.

Here are the links to his artwork:
