Title: Pixel Paintings
Post by: yosh64 on December 17, 2007, 01:41:30 pm
hey

I just came across these (what I like to call) pixel paintings and thought yas might be interested.

I ran into them here (http://www.nesplayer.com/features/8bitartist/index.htm). On that page you will find links to the pixel paintings of someone known as "8-Bit Artist".

Anyhows that's it.

Some of Chuck Close's work reminds me of the pixel aesthetic.

Yes indeed, but that's about the only interesting thing I have seen.

That's true but yet again to have the terms 'pixel art' mean yet, yet, yet again 'nintendo worship', gets a little grating.

True, the words 'Nintendo Worship' sound okay to me :D

If I did something like this, which I would be prone to do, I'd call it just that.

Er, so he takes video game scenes and outputs it in painting format?

It doesn't seem right to constrain yourself to a pixel grid wen youve got paints and a canvas

I quite like the idea, but if it isn't an original work i'm not so keen. One day i might try it out with something of mine, just cus... could look cool on my wall.  :B
