Let's say he does 10 dots a second, 600 a minute, 36000 an hour, 10 hours each day, so 360000 a day, this would be 9-10 days of making dots, without taking pauses.

#5 10 dots/s? It's more like 2 or 3 at maximum.

I wonder how much he sells it for, if he takes 10euro/h and nothing ells he only get 2100euro :P I'd buy it ^^

#3 That is no where near A4 paper size... A4 is much smaller 210mm by 297mm.

#5 #7 in the very end of the video it shows 210 hours,
so that makes by my count about 4,2 dots per second,
which I think is possible...now dot your dads :P

Pointilism at it's most tedious. Hope he made a pretty penny out of it.
