Artist's Comments

Way back in 2005 I was asked to talk at Montreal's International Game Summit on the topic of pixel art. I couldn't say no. I would regret it for the rest of my life if I missed an opportunity like this.

I prepared for two full months. Doing extra web surfing at work, writing it all up on the commuter train everyday. It's something I'm very proud of. I ended up talking about pixels both in and out of video games for 45 min to a crowd of about 90 to 100 people, with 15 min of questions after. It was awesome. I later found out that I was voted in to the top 10 speakers of that year.

This.. is the highlight of my career. This PDF (press the download button) is pretty much exactly word for word what I said, and showed, with my slide show during the conference.

It needs to be updated though. Be warned, there's spelling and grammar errors all over the place, and the end bio need s updating as well since I'm no longer at Gameloft. At least I have it posted up now ^_^

That was awesome dude, great examples.

Even since 2005 it seems there has been a much bigger craving for pixels. The FC Twin is selling really well. Everyone over the age of 20 is getting new pins in their NES. Xbox Live Arcade and Wii's Classic Console are quite successful. How nice it would be if pixel art received a home console resurrection soon with original titles.

On another note, I want a pixel cookie.
That would be nice indeed. I love pixels so much, it was a blast to do this speech. FC Twin eh? I've actually never heard of that. I think I'd rather try and re tune my NES though. Too many memories in that system.

But I totally agree. The desire for more pixel games is there. I'm not sure how big it will get but it's nice to see that it isn't dead.

LONG LIVE PIXELS!!!
Beautifully put together man, reading this has given me more hope for Pixel and 2D Art, something I'm trying to master myself.
Thank you. It may not be something that will get lots of faves but it's piece that I will proudly display for others to read.
This is wonderful! I've had a quick look through, but I'll definitely be giving it a more detailed read later.
