It reminds me of Beavis and Butthead from the 90s--both the style of the artwork and also the fact that they are rebellious teenagers.
I wonder what he would have done with paint dot net. Which is my default replacement for paint.
Ps. Anyone knows why Microsoft hasn't bought it and added it to their default tools in Windows? I always taught this would be a good thing, since paint hasn't changed anything in 10 years or so

Highly recommend "Jim'll paint it" on facebook for a lot of ms paint hilarity.
Wow, impressive!

Clarification: he got really good (like, really good) at illustrating in ms paint over ten years. He leveraged that skill to illustrate his book. He did not take ten years to illustrate the book.
The link to the kindle book is somewhat buried in the article:

Looks wonderful, unfortunately not available in my country.

Great art even if it wasn't made in MS Paint. It reminds me of the graphics in early-90s games (a lot of which may have been drawn with something not much more sophisticated than MS Paint.)
It does have a look similar to images drawn in Deluxe Paint, though without the characteristic dithering since there is no color limitations.
