![]() ![]() My favorite recent discovery is the game Path to the Sky, and I'd like to think that sourcing it helped a few people discover a game they'd never heard of before. When I finally get around to posting that original image, I've often got four or five more to go with it, as well as a new artist or three on my following list. It's not uncommon for me to search an image's source only to come across another blog that collects pixel art, which then leads me to find MORE art. I started the blog by basically emptying out my favorites and saved posts from Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, and the like, sourcing them along the way (Google reverse image search is a livesaver there). Yet, I quickly found a ton of cool artists in the process, which in turn led me to find other artists, which led me to find new games, and so on. I did it at first to, you know, not be a dick to the original artists. Sources are probably the most important thing about running Pixlexism to me. I especially didn't think I'd spend a good chunk of every shift at work travelling down a rabbit hole of related artists, games, and sources. I didn't expect I'd be queuing up three posts a day a month later. After all, my ever growing list of saved Reddit links, Tumblr likes, and Twitter favorites wasn't the easiest to navigate. Despite how crowded Tumblr already was with similar blogs, I decided I still wanted a place to collect the art that inspired me as I came across it. It's not like there aren't plenty of blogs out there already: Pixel Scenery and Noirlac (and Noirlac Sourced for that matter) are just a few examples. About a month ago I started a Tumblr for pixel art called Pixlexism. ![]()
