I am not gonna use that clichéd line about a picture and thousand words, but I will repeat Phil Hurtig's words, "A picture is worth a thousand nothings if it doesn't leave you speechless." Juan Osborne's work combines pictures and words to create a
word of art.
Juan is a Spanish architect, programmer and designer who looks for thousands of words from quotations, lyrics, speeches, movies and books to create an image that consists of as many as 200,000 words.
"Words are powerful, they go straight into the human mind and really add something to my pictures that you can't get from a regular picture taken with a camera. Mine have stories behind them that can be read, which is pretty unique." he says.
Whats interesting is that rather than searching for the perfect software or tool for his work, Juan decided to take matters in his own hands and build a softeware himself. "People are surprised when I tell them that my work is created using a standard netbook and software that I built myself - which is very basic. There are no limits to creativity - if I need something or think of a new way to make something I just create a new application to do it. I feel free without the need for commercial software."
