MacPaint Art from the Mid-80s Still Looks Great Today


40 years later and the art people painstaking made in MacPaint on their little Macs still amazes me.

Would be cool to try track down some of these artists and see what they're up to these days. If they could do this type of work on those little 9-inch, 1-bit screens 40 years ago, I'd love to see what they've achieved since. The Amiga was another computer around the same time that could do similar (arguably better) levels of computer art at home, so I think I'll explore that soon.
