Hal Lasko: Pixel Painter


Hal Lasko, better known as Grandpa, worked as a graphic artist back when everything was done by hand. His family introduced him to computers and Microsoft Paint long after he retired.
Now, Grandpa aged 97 spends ten hours a day moving pixels around his computer paintings. His work is a blend of pointillism and 8-Bit art. See the incredible work at www.hallasko.com

If anyone who reads this is from Microsoft please make a plan to highlight this story, go buy his art for the campus, or even just make a donation to his charity. What a fantastic gentleman and a wonderful story.
