Picture Is Worth More Than Thousands Words By Juan Osborne

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.
They take him three days to complete with larger ones taking up to a week. The Spaniard first isolates the main image from its background on an image editor. He then uses the picture as a template to spread thousands of words one by one across the image until every space is filled. By changing the size and colour Juan is able to create different shades and colour to bring the pieces to life.
