Picture Is Worth More Than Thousands Words By Juan Osborne

Everyone knows the well-worn saying about pictures and words. But a Spanish artist has turned that concept on its head with these images which each contain up to 200,000 words of varying lengths, heights and colours.
They are so detailed that from afar, each simply looks like a picture But on closer inspection hundreds of thousands of words can be seen making up every minute detail.
Amateur Spanish artist Juan Osborne, who scours speeches, lyrics and books for the words used, creates the masterpieces dubbed word art. His works include a Barack Obama made from 100 speeches the President made before his election and a dancing Michael Jackson, crafted out of 4,000 comments people left after his sudden death. Each one is painstakingly pieced together using home made software designed by Juan on his laptop - which he takes with him everywhere.He creates the images in coffee shops, on trains, in dentist waiting rooms and even on the sly at work.
