Wizardry of a special kind.

Excel spreadsheet are usually synonymous with dry data and mind numbing lists – serving as the raw machinery of logistics and technicalities. Right? Well, not if you ask Japanese artist Tatsuo Horiuchi – who uses the household program to create stunningly beautiful art.
Japanese culture blog Spoon & Tamago reports that the 73-year-old wizard decided to use Excel as a creative tool, since unlike graphics software, Excel is automatically installed on most computers – making it a cheap and handy option. Horiuchi took the plunge and learned the intricate ways of Excel. The result: absolutely stunning drawings embellished with Japanese motifs.
