Pixors - Bringing Pixel Art Offline (Fully Funded)

Hi everyone. I am James from Pixors. I have created Pixors pixel art stickers for people to make pixel art on objects. You can use Pixors Stickers to decorate walls, cars, laptops, windows etc with pixel art. It is also a great children's activity. We have organized a few Pixors pixel art workshops before and I must say the response from the children were really encouraging.

Right now, we are crowdfunding Pixors on Indiegogo.com, the second largest crowdfunding platform in the world. Here's the crowdfunding video:

When we were creating the backdrop for the crowdfunding video, we created a "UFO Mothership Invasion" pixel art on the wall in the living room. It took us awhile but it looks really great in the living room.

We created "Sydney New Year Fireworks" pixel art and many other panoramic views of different cities in the world

"Singapore Panoramic Reflection"

(Feel free to give critiques on the pixel art, I'm always improving my pixel art drawing skills as well)

This is one of our Pixors workshop we have conducted. This is a music class, which explains why most of the pixel art are music instruments.

Well, I thank you guys so much for reading the whole thing. In our first day of crowdfunding we have raised 52% of the total amount. Right now I am approaching more pixel art communities to let them know that it is now possible to create real life pixel art. If you like this project, do support us on Indiegogo, help us share on Facebook, tweet it on Twitter and post it on Google+.

PS: Didn't know why all the [youtube] tags aren't working in this forum. Maybe admin can fix it ? Thanks.

This :)

I'm interested to know how challenging the experience was, and if you have any tips :)

That is definitely not easy, I've reached quite a number of communities. Some people see it as advertising but some took it as a step forward in pixel art.

I've received words as harsh as "I'll just forward this to my co-worker who is working in the junk mail department". But I think I have received more good feedback than bad ones. Thanks to kind people like pixel logic, another funded indiegogo campaign who helped me share Pixors to all his followers.
