Hal, the 97-Year-Old Pixel Painter

Posted on the 30 July 2013 by Asoloaffair @a_solo_affair

Check out this wonderful and touching documentary short directed by Josh Bogdan and Ryan Lasko, about Lasko’s grandfather, Hal Lasko, a 97-year-old who uses Microsoft Paint from Windows 95 to create artwork that has been described as, “a collision of pointillism and 8-Bit art.”  Hal who is legally blind can take up to two years to complete one project, “If it takes me two years to do that, I can spend it. I’ve got a lot of patience, that’s what you really need anyways”

PS: My favorite part is when Hal goes to FedEx Kinko’s to get his painting “out of the computer”.

Enjoy!
