A Little Pixel Experiment

I have a huge respect for pixel artists; the simplicity, the love for the detail, and the whimsical results – it’s such a fun artform. Today, I’ve taken a couple of my newest abstract photographs and tried to morph them into pixel art pieces. All of them are hand-drawn, i.e. I haven’t just rescaled the original, but created them from scratch (that’s why the colors are sometimes a little off).

Testing: Abstract

One of my favorite artists is @davespertine, a London photographer I know from DeviantArt. Dave’s photography is abstract to various degrees, and he strictly refrains from explaining what his work is based on – it’s there for enjoyment and interpretation, not understanding.

Having seen and commented so much of Dave’s work, I decided to dip my feet into abstract waters. I’d love to hear what you have to say about my first three pictures.
