  2. It is both shocking and humbling to see the amount and quality of pixel art being made in Make Pixel Art every day. I just posted another set of drawings to the Best Of blog, and added a dozen new bits and pieces to use in your own drawings.
I love my job!

  3. I just published a bunch of pretty rad pixel art drawings that anonymous users of the free version of my app, Make Pixel Art, shared on the web. In addition, I added even more bits and pieces of pixel art that can be used for free inside the app.
More than 55,000 pieces of pixel art have been shared since we launched! Give it a try!

  7. RStevens of Diesel Sweeties, taken with Pixel Pix. I’ve been a big fan of his pixel art comic for years, and it was a pleasure to hear him speak and get to chat with him for a few minutes. I also gave him an Angry Cloud sticker! Hooray!

  8. I made myself an Angry Cloud teeshirt, and it has proven to be pretty popular around these parts. Several people asked that I make them more available, so I just put them all on sale and added a few more options for shirt style.
Get yours here, and keep in mind that you can choose different shirt colors!
I have been spreading Angry Cloud all around Austin by leaving stickers with my bill at restaurants, sticking them on utility boxes, and giving them to friends from out of town. I still have lots of stickers, so if you’d like to see Angry Cloud near you, send me an email with your shipping address and I will send you some FOR FREE.
