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 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. http://vimeo.com/70748579

The Pixel Painter

A beautiful documentary about a 97-year-old man whose lust for life manifests itself in art created on MS Paint.

THE PIXEL PAINTER documentary was released on July 23, 2013. The short film showcases the life and work of Hal and his big day at a Senior Center Art Gallery Show. After making the rounds on the festival circuit and three million online views, Microsoft licensed the footage for a 2014 Super Bowl commercial.

The Pixel Painter

“When I started to go blind, I wasn’t able to get the brush quite where I wanted it. So when I got into the art program on the computer, I appreciated that I could blow it up eight hundred times [larger] and be sure that I was hitting the right spot.”
