Reddit user Manmalade has an incredible knack for creating these great Microsoft Paint celebrity portraits. He recreates images of famous celebrities using nothing but the Paint program on Microsoft computers.
The Microsoft Paint celebrity portraits include images of some of the biggest names in pop culture, such as Justin Bieber, Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler, Kanye West, Bono, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson.
Manmalade also takes suggestions and requests for which celebrity he should recreate next, so I will be sure to definitely write him requesting a Lil Wayne portrait. Drawing all of those tattoos in Microsoft Paint would be no easy task but I'm sure it would be well worth the time and effort.
Make sure to check out these Microsoft Paint celebrity portraits for some awesome work.
