Recently I have been joining multiple sites in order to have a "strong" social network behind me. As I have been doing this its kind of dawned on me how much I rely on the INTERNET. I never thought as a child that the Internet would be such an important thing? Its almost like an addiction now... crazy I know but still, when talking to people you get the sense that if the Internet was taken away, the whole of the developed world would come crashing down. It's a dark thought but one that is so true.
How dark is that. I don't want this blog to head down the route of deep theoretical discussions that end up not answering anything but just asking even more questions. Besides those types of questions about humanity don't inspire me. But it did get me thinking about what I used the computer for, before the Internet started to take hold and become one of the most important inventions that has changed my life.
As a child I would sit on my dads computer and head straight to Microsoft Paint. I would sit on there drawing for hours. Usually with the Spray can tool. Unfortunately most of what I created I didn't save, which is a shame, but as a child I didn't understand the idea of 'saving'. However I found one drawing that I did on Paint and I uploaded it to my Deviant Art account.
This idea of looking back at early work got me searching for what other people created on Paint. It took a while cause there were a lot of lets say rude images (side note: Rude is a funny word isn't it. Even saying it in my head makes me laugh, anyone else? or just me?). But I did find this Amazingly elaborate drawing that had been created on paint. I won't post the full image on here becuase its redicuously long but Stanley William Moore is the one that created this master piece. Its full of pop culture references and being 10,000px long its definatley the longest drawing in paint that I have found.
I have found another which surprised me not just because of the quality of the image but the near realistic essence of the image. I thought that it was a photograph, but this is a drawing within MS Paint that took 500 hours, aparentley, to finish. I am dumbfounded at this fact. So without further a do, I present Venice
