What´s Your Excuse Again?

While trying to get 11 Projects finished in 11 Days for the German Games Day 2013, I noticed finding dozens of reasons to stop and do something else instead (most importantly: The Heat! :)...)... Then I came across this Video and started painting right away... 




   Meet 97-year-old Hal Lasko, The 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 the computer and Microsoft Paint long after he retired.
Now, Grandpa spends ten hours a day moving pixels around his computer paintings. His work is a blend of pointillism and 8-Bit art.


Reminded me of how much I love Old People...:)...


Here´s a small Sneak Pic from my First Entry... 10 to go! :D
