This 97-Year Old Man Creates Beautiful Artwork in MS Paint

Hal-lasko

Talk about making it hard on yourself: Hal Lasko, a legally blind 97-year-old man is using Microsoft Paint from Windows 95 to create his artworks

MS Paint, especially in its older iterations, is Microsoft's notoriously feature-absent drawing program — in fact, it's so basic that creating anything worth looking at with it is a challenge in itself

It doesn't really bother Hal Lasko, who discovered the software decades ago, using it to create paintings that resemble both pointillism and 8-bit art.

Lasko, who spends ten hours a day paiting, has recently been featured on art blog Colossal. He has prints for sale online, and is having his work shown in an exhibition for the first time
