Pixel Meditations

Visual musings

The queen of the neighborhood
 

 I took up pixel art as a method to unblock my creativity.

 
A tree and its attendants
 

I have a tendency to focus on details too early, zooming in endlessly to finesse minutia.

 
The queen on her throne
 

Removing pixels breaks my myopia.

 
 

A low pixel count forces me to compromise, make a decision, and move on.

 
 

Iā€™m inspired by nature, playing with the tension of composing organic shapes on a rigid grid.

 
 

The natural world is beautiful, but also mysterious and ultimately unknowable.

 
The shrine of four cranes
 

I tried to capture the mystery and wonder of nature by heightening it with the fantastical.

 
 

Each piece is a self-contained exploration of color and motion.

 
Seedpods fall past a richly growing wall
 

A meditative exercise.

 
So many squirrels
 

They repeat like mantras.

 
With ears pointed to the sky like antennas
 

Glimpses into the worlds of stories that will never be written.

 
An early piece. A hopping squirrel.
 
A frog statue in the rain
 
A stag in the moonlight
 
Watching the migration
 
The migration continues
 
Daylight tunnel
 
Nighttime tunnel
