Blind 97-year-old 'Pixel Picasso' makes masterpieces with Microsoft Paint

Hal Lasko paints using Microsoft Paint.

When Hal Lasko lost his sight, he thought his painting days were over. Until he found Microsoft Paint.

Hal Lasko, who says he's known mostly as Grandpa "because I'm old", worked as a typographer before he retired in the 1970s.

Mr Lasko's family introduced him to Windows 95's Microsoft Paint, and he is now preparing an exhibition of his work.

"When I lost my eyesight, I thought my painting days were over," Mr Lasko, who is legally blind, says in a lovely short documentary by filmmaker Josh Bogdan.

"The reason I'm using the computer is it gives me the benefit of magnifying it so I can see it," he says.

"When I was at work, I always had to do something for the client, now I can do whatever I want."
