I found you through the new Edge magazine and I am absolutely floored by your work!!! I guess that's not really a question. Umm, how about, is it okay if I climb a mountaintop and shout my praises??

You can, it gives me my fix of recognition, and it still motivates me and again to improve myself and take on new challenges. Only one thing: please be careful and don’t forget to hang your harness. ;)

Holy wow, your pixel art is out of this world! :D I'd like to know, do you usually have to do pixel art in the exact resolution needed? Is there a way to do pixel art in photoshop, yet keep the art crisp if you need to enlarge it? I've done pixel art in illustrator before to keep the result crisp and easy to scale, but it's a bit tedious to use illustrator. I hope you don't mind sharing some general tips on your workflow. :)

Hi and thank you :)

Yes, for now I do pixelart with Photoshop. I work in the exact resolution (32x32 px if I need to) then If you want to enlarge it (with a multiple of 2 ratio, ie 64x64, 96x96, etc…) and keep the crisp sensation, just select “Nearest Neighbor” in the interpolation drop down box. :)

I think all the items Link has collected have to be returned into the deposit at the end of each episode. It must be very frustrating.

Commissioned work for the awesome Stefan & Simon from Robotality. They asked me to work with them on creating their new logo.

Here’s what they told me:

“Robotality is a mix between a few possible words: Robot + Mentality. Robot + Reality. Robot + Mortality. The basic idea behind it is to combine the technical with the human. In plain english: We use computers/technical things to express human emotions.”

Here you can see the roughs made before finding their final identity:

Thx guys, it’s a great first partnership!

BONUS, the first animation I did based on the first rough:
