Microsoft Excel is a program designed to track and compute information, but here I am using Excel as a drawing tool. These drawings are a part of a series of sixty drawings that I executed (more or less) every day for fifty-eight days. Each drawing is in a new ‘worksheet,’ which is automatically set up as a grid. These drawings were made by changing cell preferences for background color, fill pattern, and border styles and from time to time inserting ‘comment’ boxes and letters or words.

this is interesting. sometimes i do this at work but i try not to. it has part numbers and stuff mixed in with it. excel is a great program. i have yet to dig out my old vb book and mix it all up.
Sometimes for work I draw some beautiful Excel spreadsheets, but then they need to be adapted to the format of the document they’re being incorporated into, and they lose all of their panache.
