It took two years to write and a year to draw all the illustrations (all of this while working a full-time job). It’s a comedic adventure, mixing everything from 80s comedies like Caddyshack and Animal House to the horror movies of the same era, to stuff like Harry Potter. The book is just a regular prose novel with a bunch of illustrations. That’s been widely misreported, and I’m partly to blame because my style looks very comic booky. I have my various versions of the program anyway.Ĭan you tell me more about the graphic novel you wrote and illustrated?It’s actually not a graphic novel.
What do you think of Paint being discontinued?At first I was a little panicked, but when I heard they were making it available as a free download, I relaxed a little. #gallery-2 /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ I love the Windows Vista version, it’s my favorite one, but I couldn’t get it to work on my current computer. I’m not sure exactly which version this is because I’ve transferred it between so many computers, but it has to be from around 2000 or so. What version of Paint do you have?I use the Windows 10 version (the final one, I guess) for coloring, and a much earlier version for line art. However, many professional digital artists and illustrators have told me I’m wasting my time with it, so it’s definitely underrated in that world. Is Paint underrated?I think especially in the last few months with the announcement that it was being discontinued … a lot of people are realizing just how beloved it is as a program. Facebook and YouTube didn’t exist yet, and I don’t enjoy Minesweeper or Solitaire, so I turned to Microsoft Paint to pass the time.ĭo you actually draw with the mouse or do you use a tablet?I’ve tried using the tablet, and have experimented with Microsoft’s Pen, but when it comes to my MS Paintings I only use the mouse. How did this all begin?Boredom and desk jobs-I was working an overnight shift at a Boston hospice in 2002. Hines took some time out to chat about his latest novel, illustrating with a mouse, and his favorite online tools for art-making.
Will we have Paint artists in the future? It feels like program and its users could be a relic of the past. They’re symbols of an era, as Microsoft recently announced Paint has been discontinued.
He has devoted 15 years to making digital art on the program, and each piece takes anywhere up to 20 hours to complete.Īs a master with the mouse, these digital paintings are more than a labor of love. Referred to as the “ high realist” Paint artist-his artwork is work. From portraits of Bill Gates to serene landscapes, Hines has gotten a lot of rightly deserved hype around his work. Boston-based illustrator, designer and artist Pat Hines is a master of Microsoft Paint. Some people think that digital art is a shortcut to making oil paint.
