An artist has raked in $440k creating portraits of celebrities - by writing their name over and over again.
Jayce Hall, 29, is a professional word artist and draws impressive pictures of A-listers, animals and landscapes - only using words.
Each picture can take him up to 25 hours to complete, with the word or name written up to 10,000 times.
Jayce charges between $30 and $2k but says his most expensive one was The Call Of Duty piece, sold for $15k - and three charity pieces went for $150k.
Over the last two years he has drawn the likes of the Beatles, Post Malone, Lionel Messi, Travis Kelce and Whitney Houston.

The drawing that you're about to see is of Whitney Houston, and I made it by writing her name
00:03
thousands of times. If you've never seen my art before, I'm Jace, and I just specialize in drawing
00:07
words, names, and phrases. This time, I actually drew on a wood panel, so it made for a pretty
00:12
cool texture, and I am so, so proud of how the smile turned out in this one. It's one of my
00:17
new favorites. I love it a ton, and I hope you dig it too. What you're about to see is probably
00:35
one of my most meaningful drawings. If you've never met me before, my name is Jace Hall, and
00:39
I specialize in a style called micrography. If you've never heard of it, essentially, I just
00:43
write words over and over again to make all my drawings. This piece, I spent about 15 hours
00:48
writing out, I love you, over and over again. It was just a really meaningful process, and I love
00:54
the drawing a ton, and I hope you dig it too. The drawing that you're about to see is of Michelangelo's
01:17
David, and I made it by writing David thousands of times. If you've never seen my art before,
01:21
I'm Jace, and I specialize in an art style called micrography, where essentially, I just draw words,
01:26
things, and phrases. This one, I think the hair on it is probably one of my top three favorite things
01:31
that I've ever made. It just turned out really crisp, so I love this one a ton, and let me know
01:36
if you dig it too.
