Hal Lasko, better known as Grandpa, was born 70 years before MS Paint was ever created. He used to work as a graphic artist, but it was back when everything was done by hand. He knew how to create works of art, but by using his hands. Then, his family introduced him to Microsoft Paint.
Now, Grandpa spends countless hours adding little pinpricks of color to a formerly blank canvas. His work is a combination of pointillism and 8-Bit art. You have to see it for yourself.
Hal is known as Grandpa, but also the Pixel Painter.
