Goon City – A pixel art world

Ryan Allen is a member of the something aweful forums and together with the forum members has produced a pixel art world. It instantly brings back memories of the original simcity games and is very similar to the works of eboy. Using a few photoshop brushes you can create a plot of land for this map in no time at all. You can tell some of the artists have spent a long time of theirs. I especially love the sense of humour in some of the creations.

The site was originally created with a google maps platform but suffered from a huge hit rate and was taken down. I’m very glad to say it is now back up and surprisingly it is now built using the Microsoft silverlight platform. This is one of the first times i have seen a practical use of the silverlight over adobe flash. A hint of things to come perhaps? Tags: Photoshop, silverlight

The Emirates – a colourful place

This little composition was created from a series of pictures I took when I went to see Arsenal take on Newcastle in the Carling Cup 2007. It inspired me to edit it into something a little bit different. I experimented with colour and photoshop filters to create this dynamic effect. Tags: Photoshop
