Hal Lakso is proof that anyone can create something great, no matter the
limitations. Also known as 'Grandpa', Lakso creates incredible art using
Microsoft Paint on Windows 95. He was first introduced to the software by his
family, long after he retired. Lakso, a former graphic designer, draftsman
in the Army and typographer, now suffers from severely impaired vision.
However, the ability to magnify on his computer has allowed him to spend up to
ten hours a day working on his digital paintings.
His work, described as a “collision of
pointillism and 8-Bit art”, has recently been on show in an art exhibition.
Prints of his work can also be bought on his website.
