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.
