So psyched for the @iam8bit.com 20th Anniversary Show! #pixelart #iam8bit20 #thepixelartist

The cycle of life, from birth to death, in pixel art.

Contra’s logo is as explosive as the game itself. The enormous, fiery “C” glows with a dithered gradient that looks ripped from the game’s flamethrowers and other screen-filling pyrotechnics. It doesn’t just introduce the title, it feels like part of the arsenal...

Personally, I love lil Kh'ymm! 🦉

You can use the stickers yourself by searching "Skeleton Crew" on GIPHY, or through most social apps that allow GIFs. Which one's your favorite?

Due to the show’s secrecy and the fast-paced release schedule, I produced the animations in small batches as characters were introduced. Ten animated pixel art GIFs were created in total, released week-by-week throughout the show’s first season.

The animations were published as searchable GIPHY “stickers” through the official Star Wars Instagram account. Fans could add the animated pixel art characters to their own Instagram Stories, helping promote the show in a playful and shareable format.

To build anticipation for the new Star Wars series, Disney commissioned a set of animated “stickers” for their official social media accounts. With a kids-on-bikes vibe like Stranger Things, the show called for an 8-bit pixel art style that captured both nostalgia and energy.
