If you've always wondered how those headshot drawings for The Wall Street Journal are done, and why, now you have your answer.

The Journal posted a story today detailing that the trademark artwork can take up to five hours to make, among other things.

“For a newspaper that for more than a century celebrated the lack of images within its pages, it is surprising to note that the Journal's signature mark is the dot-ink portrait,” the story stated. “In explanation of that visually-averse legacy, former executive editor Fred Taylor famously said, 'I've always thought that one word was worth a thousand pictures.'”

It also notes that most of the artists do their work from home, after working from a New Jersey location following the Sept. 11 attacks.

They even included a video of the behind-the-scenes work
