256 points: car
For this sketch assignment, I chose to replicate a picture of a car, and I completed this assignment on a free pixel art website.

So, I found this picture instead which had the car straight. Because this picture was very detailed, I had to let go some of…

Visual Poem Minimalism
I created a poem about minimalism from a page in Ragged Dick. The poem reads, “Some people had never much interest four [sic] dollars” The point of the poem is to express that despite our whole society revolving around money, there are a lot of people who simply do not care for material wealth. I …
Tom Brady Pixel Art

While making the image I noticed that it was very difficult to make a detailed image. I was trying to recreate the nose and mouth but could not do anything expect make 2 pinkish blocks in the …
Movie Recreation: Tammy
I chose to recreate this image from the movie “Tammy” because it requires minimal props and/or setup and it is funny even outside of the context of the movie. While my face certainly looks goofy, I am no Melissa McCarthy and I could not exactly pull off the facial expression that she makes. I also
