Hal Lasko a grandfather at one time was a graphic artist during the time that all the work was performed by hand. He worked during World War II drafting military maps. After his time in the military, he worked with several companies on their various creative projects including American Greetings until he retired in the 1970\u2019s. Lasko, today, has a disease known as wet macular degeneration that brings on blindness in the center of his vision. He was afraid that his painting days were over; however, his family on his 85th birthday gave him a surprise \u2013 a brand new computer that was complete with Microsoft Paint Software. Lasko is now enjoying painting on his computer 10 hours a day by moving pixels.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I got the computer and saw what the paint program offered, I started a whole new career almost. It\u2019s so easy for me to handle,\u201d Lasko says. \u201cEvery time I paint on it, I\u2019m trying to do something that\u2019s approaching fine art.\u201d<\/p>\n
