Stop bashing MS Paint! One 97-year-old uses it to make beautiful digital paintings Jul 24th 2013, 17:18, by Nick Mediati Microsoft Paint gets a lot of flack due to its basic set of features—in fact, it's about a basic as graphics apps come (hey, what do you expect for a freebie app that comes on every Windows PC?). That didn't stop 97-year-old Hal Lasko from making some downright incredible digital paintings with it. In an eight-and-a-half-minute video, Hal describes how he started with painting in MS Paint, and how he woke from a dream then "went to the computer to see if I could do what I dreamed I could do." Hal is no stranger to art and design—he is a retired graphic artist, and would actually hand-draw typefaces for use in various print forms. The Pixel Painter from The Pixel Painter on Vimeo.
