Handwritten Faces By John Sokol
Meet John Sokol, a talented Ohio based artist who created a collection of so-called word portraits depicting some of the world’s most famous writers, using their own words. While most of us would have a hard time drawing a regular portrait, he does that by using the lines from their most popular works.
You’ve probably already heard the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”, this time – a picture is made of a thousand words.
