Hal Lasko pixel painter

So you thought pixel painting was just from kids of the 80s. Hal Lasko discovered Microsoft Paint upon retirement and was amazed at what a creative tool it was. It reminds me of me discovering DeluxePaint on the Amiga.

Welcome to the world of Hal Lasko.

Better known as Grandpa, he spent his entire working life as a graphic artist, back when everything was done by hand.

When he retired his family showed him the computer. He didn't find much use for it until he discovered Microsoft Paint. He was hooked. Since then, Grandpa spent ten hours a day placing pixels around his computer paintings. His work is like a collision of pointillism and 8-Bit art.
