Just fantastic. Tell me again, boomers, that we don't live in a dystopia and I should calm down.

@siracusa What are your thoughts on Sony dropping physical disc support for their next console? Do you even have physical games?

@gruber I was literally just talking about At Ease on either Clockwise or The Rebound this week. We had it in school!

after discovering Trici Venola’s 1-bit art from the 80s, I was excited to learn that she was featured in (what became) an extremely obscure artist journal - Verbum. she got an entire chapter in the Verbum Book of Digital Painting, along with other exceptional macpaint artists such as Bert Monroy, Junko Hoshizawa, and Martin Speed among many others.

there are very few printed books on 80s pixel art, and i’m overjoyed that this one turned out to be equal parts technical/stylistic manual, and pixel art gallery.

the best part of the book are the step by step drawing demonstrations by each artist. you really get a sense for their method and practice.
