Guy Spends 10 Years to Illustrate His Novel with MS Paint

Pat Hines sucked at Photoshop. So he decided to use good old Paint instead.

Having a hard time mastering the principles of Photoshop? Forget about it! Use Microsoft Paint. Sound silly, right? Pat Hines didn’t want to spend hours learning Photoshop and illustrated his story using the legendary Microsoft Paint. “I suck at Photoshop and other programs, and have worked exclusively in Microsoft Paint for over ten years… I honed my craft working long overnights at a hospital reception desk…,” Pat writes. So, he just opened good old Paint and started creating illustrations for his novel “Camp Redblood And The Essential Revenge”.

“I suck at Photoshop and other programs, and have worked exclusively in Microsoft Paint for over ten years…”

“…I honed my craft working long overnights at a hospital reception desk…”

“…Then decided to write and self-publish an e-book about a summer camp set in the 1980’s…”

“…a summer camp surrounded by ghosts and monsters…”

“…and filled with goofy campers and counselors, where the teenagers are always trying to get drunk or laid…”

“…and getting into trouble…”

“…and breaking into rival camps to carry out elaborate revenge schemes…”

“…and not always succeeding.”

You can buy the book on Amazon Kindle or on Nook
