When I read that MS Paint is officially dead now, it made me look back at a time when I frantically drew on MS Paint every day on a mechanical mouse.

I drew with ms-paint from 2002 until 2008 and made 250 ms paintings in total. It filled my High school days with joy.

The digital paintings are a mixture between the vibrant fantasy I had as a young child, and the anxiety and heart aches of my teenage years.

I think the limited functionality of the software and limitations of drawing with a mechanical mouse where a good thing because it challenged my creativity.

These are a little ghoulish for my tastes, but I can't help but be impressed with what you did here. (Well, they're all impressive for the skill involved. I really like how the forms in this one merge into each other, though.)

Thanks! It's about how drugs can gradually screw up someone's life. I merged the forms to show the transformations through each phase of damage.

Pretty sure everyone did that thing with the scribbling and the fill tool at one point in their young MSPaint life

You're REALLY creative these are all amazing. I don't know how you could do this in paint when I couldn't even draw a tree that looked like a tree 😂
