There’s a generation of artists emerging who have grown up utilising Microsoft Paint as an artistic medium (I speak from experience). Once you’ve nailed monsters, blobs, squiggles and a palette reminscent of early Saved by The Bell episodes, you’re pretty much there. Tim Colmant has totally mastered this particular technique, and has been beavering away making pleasant patterns and cheery creatures for a while now. Fancy a scroll through a lovely, squiggly bunch of images? Just head on over to his website.

An illustration of a smiling, yellow figure with a rounded body and closed eyes. The figure is set against a teal background with the letters “D”, “A”, “N”, “C”, and “E” positioned around the edges.
