I’ve enjoyed The Masters of Pixel Art very much. Modern pixel art has gained some much deserved recognition in recent years, but I think we were missing a concrete homage to the art form until now. Luckily for us, the production of these books is very high quality. The books themselves are well made, and the images are perfect. The pixels are crisp and the colors look gorgeous across a variety of styles. Klas has done an excellent job of curating talented pixel artists and their works. Everyone has such a distinct approach to the medium, so it’s easy to appreciate the versatility of pixels despite their restrictions. I’m a pixel art fan who doesn’t really make my own, but I still feel a deep appreciation for the artists describing their techniques, history, and inspiration. They come from all over the world, so it’s interesting to compare their different perspectives on pixel art. My library of pixel art books is small, but these are the star of my collection.
My order arrived today and I’m happy, I did not expect such heavy books. You’ve created fantastic and high-quality art books, freezing time and memories. Thanks a lot! 🙂
