To celebrate Pac-Man Day, I'm making myself 4 specialty “shots”, each based on one of the four original ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Can you guess what’s in each one?#pixelart #PacManDay #8bitart #Pixology #PacMan
Happy Pac-Man Day! This pixel art was originally created for the Miami New Times "Best of the City" issue. This was for "Finest Foods" section and it felt only appropriate to use the ghost-gobbling Pac-Man.

Made a fun little tool for extracting color palettes from any image (works best with .GIF and .PNG files though!)

I've found that by sitting and meditating every day, and doing yoga every Monday, I've learned to make peace with the mind.
And as an illustrator who does 8-bit art, I find something very meditative about placing each pixel one at a time.
