Sorry for the slow updates…  To all those worried the Mosaic Project had come to a close, fear not.  The project is very much alive, I’ve just been devoting my time to creating a “kit”, for the public.   This has certainly been a lot slower than I anticipated, but I am making some headway.

Anyway, my girlfriend grew a little tired of “Magic Skull,” so we put together a new, random mosaic using the same pieces.  I’m pretty happy with the result – especially considering it only took about 15 minutes between the 2 of us.

8 Bit Art – Magic Skull

If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll notice this actually a different base.   I’ll explain the differences in a later post,  but for now I wanted to share the test mosaic I put together to verify that the new design actually worked.  The verdict: works great!

Update: Magic Skull was recently featured on SkullaDay.com. A very well named blog, Skull A Day features a new image of a skull-related work of art on a daily basis.  Very creative site that’s been at it for years.  Thanks for featuring my project!

8 Bit Art – Ice Hockey

To celebrate the NHL Playoffs… and hopefully cool off my apartment a little.  This probably would look even better on a non-white wall.

8 Bit Art – Contra

Happy memorial day!  I had this one planned for a while but I needed a lot more black tiles.  This one also was a little difficult to assemble.  I pretty much needed to go pixel by pixel – very few big blocks of colors.

8 Bit Art – Contra (Making of)

Posted on May 31, 2011 by 8bitliving

It’s been a while, but I think this Contra mural is worth the wait.  Instead of the usual slide show, I wanted to try my hand at movie making.  It’s not the best, but at least I could control the transition times.  More pictures to come.

8 Bit Art – Sunbeam

It’s been a while since my last post.  I spent the past week testing out a new base – which unfortunately didn’t work out. Because I ran out of wall space I had to remove “Duck Hunt” – which was really a shame.  Once I put the old base back up, I filled it up quickly with this somewhat abstract design – which turned out a lot cooler than I expected.
