Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of raster graphics software, where images are edited on the pixel level. Graphics in most old (or relatively limited) computer and video games are mostly pixel art.







eBoy (“Godfathers of Pixel”) is a Pixel Art group founded in 1997 by Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Svend Smital.
Their complex illustrations have been made into posters, shirts, souvenirs, and even displayed in gallery exhibitions. They were founded on May 2, 1997, expressing their modular and collaborative approach as something that defines eBoy as much as the use of pixels. Based in Berlin, eBoy’s founders collaborate with Peter Stemmler in New York to produce graphic design work for companies. Their work makes intense use of popular culture and commercial icons, and their style is presented in three-dimensional isometric illustrations filled with robots, cars, guns and girls. Mostly their designs are printed today and not used solely for computer screens anymore, allowing images to get more complex with details. Their unique style has gained them a cult following among graphic designers worldwide, as well as a long list of commercial clients. Their latest project are plastic Peecol toys with Kidrobot, and soon a new line of wooden toys are to be produced under their own label.
eBoy has worked with named brands and companies such as Coca-Cola, MTV, VH1, Adidas, and Honda.
I love Pixel Art because it Reminds me of my all time favorite video game Sim City 2000

Habitat 67 is a housing complex and landmark located on the Marc-Drouin Quay on the Saint Lawrence River in Montreal, Canada. Its design was created by architect Moshe Safdie. It was designed to integrate the variety and diversity of scattered private homes with the economics and density of a modern apartment buildin. Modular, interlocking concrete forms define the space.The project was designed to create affordable housing with close but private quarters, each equipped with a garden. The building was believed to illustrate the new lifestyle people would live in increasingly crowded cities around the world.
The complex was originally meant to be vastly larger. Ironically, due to its architectural cachet, demand for the building’s units have made them expensive rather than “affordable” as originally envisioned.

In a day and age where everything is becoming customized from our houses and cars to our facebook and myspace pages why are we settling for the standardized icons that our computers give us. Recently I went to iconarchive.com iconcubic.com and interfacelift.com to doenload some free Icons to spiff up my desktop. They have everything from a slight alteration of your existing icons like a color change, to a complete personal makeover allowing every icon to reflect your individual self. For those of you who are Mac users, just highlight a folder, your hard drive, an application, or anything that you can open and hold command + i and the info box will open, simply drag the icon you have choosen to the upper left corner where the current icon is and Wah Lah! you have a custom icon.
