So you're saying that you will kill someone because of what they
believe in ?

Therefore, equally, someone should be able to kill you because of
what you believe in.  It's only fair.

1)  I'm not superseding my own post.  I don't have a Hotmail address.

2)  It is (in my opinion) brilliant.

3)  Why shouldn't I ask?  It wasn't my picture.

It wasn't my picture.

For all I care, it could be a portrait of George Washington made up of
the words in the US Constitution.

I'm not a Marxist - I just appreciate good art (which this quite
obviously is).

You're forgetting what Communism is all about - the basic principle was
that all mankind was created equal, so everyone should have equal
wealth and property.

The problem with Communism was the greed of certain people.

Communism was good on paper, but in practise it never worked.

As I said, I'm not a Marxist (I prefer the semi-democratic state that I
live in).  But I like the art form.

The composition gives the feel that the words he wrote represented
himself and his viewpoints completely - you can tell so much about the
man himself by his written word that you could tell what he looked
like.

I would like to be able to create portraits of other people using their
written word; people like Arthur C. Clark, or Winston Churchill, or
Martin Luther King.

That's why I was asking how it was done.
