The Book of Danielle Aubert Microsoft Excel Artwork is Filled with Pixelated Fun

— November 14, 2010 — Art & Design
Although the Paint program is easy to draw with, I can't seem to make anything look fairly decent, so seeing the Danielle Aubert Microsoft Excel Artwork is quite impressive.

Although Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program, Danielle Aubert uses it as a drawing tool. On an almost-daily basis for 16 months, this digital artist created a book full of worksheet drawings. Using cells, color fills and border styles, these Danielle Aubert Microsoft Excel art pieces were created in pixelated fun.
