GridMethod - How to Hack Art

Have you ever wanted to draw a decent mural for your kids' play room? Need to impress your high-school sweet heart who falls for the artsy types and you haven't drawn anything since that flower vase in Mrs. Lehrer's art class way back in Jr. High. Even if you're a mediocre to all out crappy artist, the GridMethod is an engineer's approach to drawing, it's like turning yourself into a dot-matrix printer and you're an artist before you run out of ink. Point on the screen, get the coordinates of what you're looking at to match with where that corresponds on your canvas. You still have to do the drawing but at least you won't get dumped until the middle of next week when she discovers that you're not really an unemployable starving artist but only another great well-paid engineer ... those are the breaks.
