UPDATE 1/14/2013 - I still have one slot open for some static pixel art. See guidelines
http://ledpixelart.com/content_guidelines.html as there are some nuances when working on the LED medium. Also, the KickStarter
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/996412530/pixel-interactive-led-art did get funded so your work will be going on a real product. I'll need between 40 and 50 images and am ok if some of it is existing work providing it's yours and meets the guidelines. The type of art should be artsy kind of stuff, not generic things like flags, people walking, etc. Also I'm trying to stay away from video game things (swords, knives, etc.) Knowing this is broad, I am open to your ideas, the constraint is the 32x32 canvas, here are some existing examples
https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/108342826923338236598/albums/5827662166898952545 You'll get $100 USD and you'll be listed as a featured artists along with a dedicated Android app with your art on
http://ledpixelart.com.
And other opportunity for those of you who are affiliated and/or have contacts with an indie game. I'm looking to do a co-marketing arrangement with an indie game or two. It would work like this: I get some really cool art to bundle with PIXEL (the LED based display). In return, I advertise the game in the form of a dedicated Android app that showcases the art from the game displaying it on PIXEL (You set the art on PIXEL from an Android app). The app with indie game mention would also be featured on the KickStarter page
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/996412530/pixel-interactive-led-art and PIXEL's web site
http://ledpixelart.com. Since it would be existing art, it shouldn't be much extra work. The pixel art would need to be 32px by 32px and follow these guidelines
http://ledpixelart.com/content_guidelines.html to look good on the LED display.
Shoot me a note with a few samples if you are interested at

What's the ProjectHey All, My name's Al and I'm looking for art help. I'm an IT professional during the day and in my spare time work on electronics projects. With the help of a few friends, we're launching a hardware product call PIXEL dedicated to displaying Pixel Art on an LED display.
The cool thing about this product is that unlike traditional LED projects, no coding or wiring up circuits is required, you simply set the art (animations too) from your Android device. The hardware features a 32x32 RGB LED matrix meaning each LED equals 1 pixel for a resolution of 32x32. More info on PIXEL at
http://ledpixelart.com


The product is in need of some Pixel art for the launch. That's where you come in. Here's a few sample images to give you a feel for how pixel art looks on the product.






It can also play animated gifs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf57_EKhH-M&feature=youtu.be&t=1m16sWhat's NeededIn terms of the style of pixel art needed, we're open, the idea is to feature a few Pixel Artists as part of the product launch. The main constraint is the art work needs to display well on the 32x32 resolution display, thus the images need to be 32px by 32px. The art does not need to be new and can be existing work but does need to follow a common artistic style/portfolio and of course have originated from you. Note that images larger than 32x32 up to say 64x64 still will display fine when downscaled, just depends on the amount of detail in the image. A minimum of 50 still images will be needed with bonus points for more. Images should be in 32x32 resolution in PNG format with transparent backgrounds. If you have a few animated GIFs, that would also be great and those would be added to the PIXEL animate app

WhenThe Kickstarter launch is planned for roughly January 2nd so we'd need the art work sometime prior to that.
Here's a closer look at the underlying hardware for anyone interested
