This is the kind of person I want to be when I get older. He's not sitting and wasting his time until he dies. He's learning and creating. He's using his spare time to do something with his life. I hope I never be one of those people who "settle down".
I spend a lot of time on Omniglot learning/experimenting with different scripts. I also like to draw/sketch. I try to keep myself busy. What do you do?
I code. I am currently looking into creating an Android app to generate random cyphers/artefacts for Monty Cook's Numenera. I am planning on loading Ubuntu Touch on my tablet and using it for on the go scripting/coding. I tend to lean more towards tinkering than creating.
What I find interesting is that "pixel art" as a medium is established and rather common these days, but he appears to have no connection to it. Because he's uninfluenced by other pixel artists, or their common inspirations (8-bit video games, etc), his work is entirely unique. There's something very almost strange about seeing such a modern (in the history of art) technique employed by someone who really for all intents and purposes would never be doing so were it not of necessity. Because of this unique combination of medium and artist, the work really stands out as unique.
This reminds me a lot like ringo stars paint art, its hilarious. A musical icon creating these pixel art paintings that are well.... I cant link them cause i am on my phone at school at the moment but a quick google should be enough.
You're in for a treat if you've never seen Fernando Tatis' Paint art. He was a baseball player. No one can figure out if this account is fake or not.
