The History & Definition of isometric Pixelart:
The term pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. The concept, however, goes back about 10 years before that, for example in Richard Shoup’s SuperPaint system in 1972, also at Xerox PARC.
Some traditional art forms, such as cross-stitch, mosaic and beadwork, bear some similarity to pixel art by constructing pictures out of small colored units analogous to the pixels of modern digital computing.
A similar concept on a much bigger scale can be seen in the mass games.
Pixel art is distinguished from other forms of digital art by an insistence upon manual, pixel-level editing of an image (without the application of image filters, automatic anti-aliasing or special rendering modes), often at close magnification. In this form, it is commonly said that “each pixel was placed carefully” to achieve a desired result.
ICE = Intercity Express:
(German pronunciation: [iːtseːˈeː]) — is a system of high-speed trains predominantly running in Germany and neighbouring countries. It is the highest service category offered and is the flagship of Deutsche Bahn.
It’s among the best-known brands of Germany. It’s the most secured Train in Germany - Go and paint it!
Klaus Kinski:
(18 October 1926 Danzig, Poland – 23 November 1991, California)
Klaus Kinski was a German actor, famous for his ability to project onscreen intensity, and for his explosive temperament. His real name was Klaus Günter Karl Nakszyński.
He acted in over 130 films. He lived at Elisabethmarkt in Maxvorstadt/Munich in Germany.

Kestner Museum Hanover:
Thousands of years under one roof
The lawyer August Kestner (1777-1853) lived as a diplomat of the Hanover king house in Rome for many years, where he gathered an extensive
collection of antique art. Its nephew gave the works of art to the city of Hanover in 1882. Together with the 1887 acquired art collection of the printer and Hanover senator Friedrich Culemann they form the basic stick of the today’s collection of the
museum, which was opened 1889.

Created Juli 2005 for BELIO Magazine: Mystic Issue [#018]
(experimental art and design magazine / Madrid Spain - www.beliomagazine.com)
You are the only one who can search honestly inside yourself for the meaning of your life, eternal love and infinite energy. No doctrines, no set formulas, no new prophets or false messiahs or hypocritical rituals. You will only find your personal salvation in the simplicity of your own feelings, of the sincerity of doing good.
Who told you that God exists?
It is just the blind
faith of tradition, then God died a long time ago. If it is because of the
fear from Hell, then give up, you are already doomed and in the middle of a major shit storm. If it is because of the love for others then begin to love yourself: look for your real neighbour, your real enemy - it’s certain that they are living inside you. And don’t think that I am preaching some
exasperated rationalism. No. It is simply that faith, the religion of today and the
mysticism of the future, has more truth when it is based on you, on your own God and your own creed, on that which we search for and find, which doesn’t even has a
face or symbol, or hope of collecting charity or prayers, but that simply lives in you, fed by your pain, hopes, dreams and visions.
»Mysticism and exaggeration go together.
A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to push
all the way to the limits of humility or the limits of delight. «

The permanent surveillance generates an uninterrupted reality scan.
All of this media footage is being reflected back to the societie’s eyes and ears.
The monitored consumers became the controlled addicts of this circular flow of entertainment.
A metapher for loosing our souls and disoriented victims of the global crisis.
As we know them today: Zombies - the living Dead - the abart of the century.
It was a treatment for Carhartt’s RUGGED Magazine. (Check their website…)

Now the media monopolists pilot their string puppets.
I wrote a comprehensive recapitulation about media manipulation.

Our world is constantly becoming a smaller place.
Broadcasting stations brings us news from every part of the globe directly into our homes.
The network of the media corporations has become ever so complex.
Media tycoons, like Silvio Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch, embody the global power of the media and the danger of it manipulating politics and public alike.
The outcome of elections can be manipulated by swaying opinions and wars abroad seem to have become the instruments of political campaigning at home.
Even terrorists make use of the modern tools of propaganda.
All that remains to audiences is to participate as a silent zombie in front of the idiot box.
What is propaganda? Are satellite-TV and Internet the last step to total control?
Or is all of this nothing more than harmless entertainment?

Made out of pixels, LEGOs, and even tiles on the street. Found on walls, on blotter, and scored on pills of e.
The genetic code is 25 bits of black or white on a 5×5 grid. Out of 12,209 viable designs only a fraction have been discovered / named / created in the lab. Scumskullz are sofa king rad.
Browse the whole SCUMSKULLZ gallery and see all of the pics (191 images!)
Scumskullz are constructed from black and white pixels on a 5×5 grid. the result is a space-Invaders-like pixel fighter - friendly or aggressive, chaotic or regular. It started out as an icon design study and has grown into a collaborative online art project with contributors from all over the planet. But beware: not every 5×5 bitmap is valid. There are certain constraints the anatomy of a scumskull has to meet. like almost every living creature on earth they are symmetric and contiguous. they have to touch all boundaries of the construction grid, too.
An exhaustive search showed that according to this definition there are 12,209 possible Scumskullz.
Scumskullz usually live on computer screens and stickers on the streets, but they can be made out of everything you can imagine. Bathroom tiles, legos, food, rubber stamps, lamps or truetype fonts. there are even rumors of scumskullz spotted on acid sheets and pills of E. Visit the website to witness the global infiltration, learn more about the anatomy, view all discovered species and create your own scumskull. The Scumskullz crew consists of interdisciplinary design and IT experts based in munich, bavaria.
Every Scumskull is constructed from black or white pixels on a 5×5 grid.
Additionally there are certain constraints on the shape of a Scumskull:
 |
A Scumskull must be symmetric to the vertical axis. |
 |
A Scumskull must be contiguous. That is, all black pixels have to be connected. Diagonal connections are allowed. |
 |
A Scumskull must be expletive. That is, the bounding box of the black pixels of a Scumskull must cover the whole 5×5 grid. Or, there must be at least one black pixel on the leftmost and rightmost columns and the topmost and bottommost rows of the grid |

I found theses image files. I scaned them a while ago. There out of one of my mini black books.
i scaned it because the book got distorted somehow. looks like it got wet - i guess it’s the combination of that paper and the marker that i used…
its a very small book format. Ca. 10 x 10 cm.
i tried to draw an ultimative collection of simple comic characters with boilerplate formed heads or helmets.
Some of them with horns that make them look like devils, vikings or bulls…
There is some knights, ice hockey players, astronauts, evel-knevels, wrestlers etc.
Some of these drafts where templates for graffiti pieces. Check it out:

- Es ist nicht schwierig ein Kleinkind zu erschrecken.
- Viele fürchten sich im Dunkeln und vor dem Krampus.
- Wir alle erinnern uns an Hexen und Pestleichen aus Kindermärchen die uns damals verstörten. Erwachsene erschrickt man besser mit Spinnen oder Gay-Comedie.
- Dieser versuch eines kleinkindergerechten Comicstils erscheint mir passend simpel in der formgebung und übel genug für ein, zwei Alpträume. Ca. 12 Stunden Arbeit für die beiden Figuren. Dazu kommt noch die Vorzeichnung und das Zusammenstellen der Comic Panels.
- Der Vorteil ist, daß man bei Beibehaltung des Zeichenstils, Körperteile wie Hände und Accessoires wie Schuhe in einer Bibliothek organisieren und wiederverwenden kann.
Nicht vergessen: Die Bilder anklicken, um sie zu Vergrößern!

Diesen Wildstyle habe ich zufällig auf einer externen Festplatte gefunden.
Er ist aus dem Jahr 2002 - also nur 7 Jahre alt und noch nicht verschimmelt wie andere feuchte Blätter, Bücher, Blöcke und alte Skizzen… Früher hieß sowas tatsächlich “Wildstyle” - heute ist das eine botanische Strichübung oder sinnlose Dekoration für Fashionshootings.
This is the one and only official overview of my Life, the Universe, and everything.
Have a nice trip on this planet and enjoy the Gallery:
