Harold Lasko thought his painting days were over when he lost his eyesight. But his PC and Microsoft Paint have enabled him to keep creating. A former typographer, Lasko, 96, calls the computer a “marvelous instrument.” He blows up each detail into sections and painstakingly fills them in to create his masterpieces.
“I can do whatever I want,” he marvels. Though Lasko doesn’t call himself an artist: “That’s up for other people to decide.”
Check out Lasko’s digital paintings in the video above.
