General Discussion / Remember Mr. Wong's Soup'Partments?
« on: November 17, 2014, 07:23:04 pm »
Hello everyone!
Does anyone remember the Mr. Wong's Soup'Partments from the early 2000s? It was a huge collaborative Pixel Art Tower that can be seen here: http://www.mrwong.de/myhouse/
I did a spin on it: http://saschanaderer.com/chickenstreet/
I might add that I do this in order to recreate that kind of inspiration people got from looking at the pieces of so many great and of course not-so-great artists. The thing is, it didn't really matter that much, since the collaboration part was the key to the success.
What do you guys think? Could this work?

It included the work of 406 people and it is one of my most cherished inspirations from my early days. Sadly, the project was cancelled after 2004 and no more contributions were taken.
In 2014, so ten years after that, I decided to try to give people a reason to make collaborative Pixel Art again. In the very spirit of Mr. Wong, the plan is to get as many floors as possible. My spin on the piece is that instead of creating another tower, we together go deep into the undergrounds of 69 Chickenstreet and try to create our vision of what's under that garage of the original piece.
