Pixel Art article
Happy Mother’s Day to all you crafty moms and geeky moms and crafty geeky moms from Geek Crafts.
Smash Magazine posted this article on pixel art as part of their Monday inspiration series. This cupcake painting by Ashley Anderson is my favorite example. There’s also a great list of resources at the end of the article.
Well gee, thanks for the compliment! I worked really hard on that painting during my undergrad and it’s just been sitting around for about 3 years now, so it’s nice to see one of my favorite pieces of my own being received so well!
If you’re curious, I pulled the cupcake from a sprite sheet for Kirby’s Superstar for the SNES. I’m a big fan of pixels and a fan of the artist Wayne Thiebaud, so I combined them in this particular image.
Anyway, I won’t bore you with further details and minutiae. Thanks for posting this image, I really do appreciate the appreciation!
