Had a person reach out because this picture I did back in 2006 haunts them. They just wanted to know more about it, how it was made, why, lessons etc. This has never happened to me before, it's a interesting experience. Especially for what I always thought were internet ephemera

Stop gatekeeping like this, pixel art people. There is no longer any merit to safeguarding your methods, they’re not in any danger. Help people learn and expand their own style, from whatever angle you can. Be excellent to one another — we’ve got bigger problems to deal with.

I've been doing pixel art for 25 yrs, and I kept underestimating the pixels. Every single time they were stronger than I thought. Fancier graphics didn't hurt them, the NFT cretins couldn't corrupt the scene, ai pixel art will never stop banding. I am always humbled by the pixel.

the reason ai can't do pixel art is because we understand pixel art with clusters in mind. eventually the ai will understand cluster theory, but it still won't be able to do pixel art on a high level because pixel art is about intense reflection on every gradual pixel alteration
