A Stephen King fan has 'written' the book Jack Torrance wrote in The Shining, including just one line: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". He repeats the phrase for 80 pages, but makes different shapes with the text as the book progresses.
About the project, artist Phil Buehler said:
I'd just finished my own obsessive art project [and] it was an idea I had over the Christmas holidays... I thought 'if he [Jack Torrance] continues to get crazier, what would those pages look like?' I hit writer's block about 60 pages in, and I had to get to 80 - that went on for about a week.
Cripes: an artist who completes obsessive art projects sets out to create 80 pages repeating the same phrase? Reason for concern, surely? Not so: his fiancee watched the film and realised Buehler wasn't losing it. Phew.
