A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - Issue No. 9
The last issue of "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" was nearly a year ago. I know - that's crazy; March 13, 2012 to be exact.
In either case, for those who haven't seen my previous issues I started this series as a way to introduce my readers to the world of art through words. And by words, I mean where the artist has taken several hundred pieces of text and created a masterpiece; it could be a self-portrait, landscape or still-life. It's called Typographical Art, much like a typographical quote you see posted on a Facebook news feed from time to time. But with hundreds, if not thousands of words instead of just a few.

Today's issue is nothing short of amazing. The artist known simply as Straye-Close
spent over 150 hours creating this masterpiece. Every whisker, every
wrinkle, every feature uses a word describing something. From the name,
Morgan Porterfield Freeman Jr., movies he's been in, characters of the
people he's played in those movies, awards he has won, and almost every
quote he could find for those films. Truly an extraordinary piece of art!

I would not have patience for that, as beautiful as it is, but endurance, skill and talent are what create truly wonderful pieces of art.
