Shane's power is the ability to make pictures that come to life. They are like computers, in that they are stupid, but reliable and quick learners. He's able to directly control them with his mind, if they are in front of him, and they are able to (to his knowledge) work at an arbitrary distance from himself. So far, the maximum detail he has been able to produce is what he can put down onto paper, though the fact that he can directly control the pigments, like a mind-linked photoshop, means that he can produce pictures far above his skill level. Unfortunately, so far he can only get 2d geometric figures to move in a way that makes sense. If he were to make something like the Mona Lisa, the best he would be able to get it to do would be to move the different layers around, not realistic human movements, and definitely not 3d rendering of, say, the back of her head as she turned around, unless he specifically spent the time to animate that one movement.
His paintings have very limited interaction with the real world. They cannot to his knowledge exert any kind of real world force, and even though to his knowledge they are very capable of observing the world, for example auditory, visual, tactile, acceleration, and anything else that's not based on chemical signals (smell and taste, for example), actually interacting with that data is, so far, beyond him. Because they're so stupid, whenever they find something interesting, they don't know it. His attempts at extracting visual data have either been garbled or miserable failures.
The pictures are able to move along surfaces that he has not directly interacted with personally. Three variable that affect their speed is interaction with him, whether they've been there, presence of media, and the texture of the surface. They suffer no penalty when he has interacted with the surface. They slow down moving across places they haven't been before, and when a surface is very rough, they slow down even more. Unless they are facing a shortage of ink, and don't have enough of a single color to spread over the entire picture, they can usually change color with no penalty. Most of the time, crossing a gap is nigh impossible for them to accomplish, unless they have enough mass to physically cross the space.
His inseparable companion is a thick 8 by 5 inch 500 page spiral sketchbook, that contains his library and workstation for new pictures. Folded up into pockets are various sizes of poster, for the times when he needs extra space.
