It has spawned memes. It has spawned jokes. It has also spawned creativity. It is MS Paint. Most joke about the humble program that comes with all Microsoft-based operating systems, but talented artists have harnessed its simplicity and used it to further the agenda of new and innovative art forms. One such aritst is Steph Glenford, known on dA as ~
horseluvr04. Her Paint artwork on dA is widely hailed as some of the most original and finely made on the entire site, and we have an exclusive chance at an interview with Stephanie.
Thanks for coming to this interview, Steph. How are you today?
