  1. Hi Jude,

    I’m sure you’re familiar with Cory Arcangel, but I thought I’d point you toward a couple other lesser-known kindred spirits who mine the 8-bit aesthetic in their own ways:

    Max Capacity: http://www.flickr.com/photos/max-capacity/sets/72157623473900063/

    Ashley Anderson: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pressstarttobegin/

    Have you ever participated in or curated any shows that focus on this sort of art? If so, what, when, and where can I find pics?

    Glad to find your site,
    Justin Kirkwood


  2. I’m flickr friends with Ashley but I was unfamiliar with Max Capacity. The last show I did was actually called Pixel Pushers, but it wasn’t all pixel based art. In fact I was the only one doing 2-D pixel work… Shawn Smith does awesome 3-D pixel sculptures:

    And Daniel Rehn had an installation of his crazy pixel animations.
    If you do a google search for “giant robot pixel pushers” you should be able to find a ton of coverage of the show. Thanks!
