"Mise en abyme" is a concept in art, literally saying "to put something into infinity". It can be found for example in narration, when a story is told within a story, or in visual arts, when an image is placed into itself repetively (you might have seen something like that already). I'm really fond with the topic, but of course this is just a shallow adoption. Anyway, I think it's kind of funny .
I'm not sure about the linewidth - should it grow as well? Does it look to "fragile", or does the 1-pixel-linewidth rather match the style? Maybe it would look better, if the zoom paused each time the "default view" is reached?

Teletubbies ? Wait, I see.. but actually he's supposed to hold a sheet of paper or something like this in his hands, not to have a telly in his belly... (wow, it rhymes... )

it s mezmerising, the simplicity in your pixel art is classical and undercoloured, yet somehow, t looks better than some of the coloured art i see here. Kudos

This immediately reminded me of Teletubbies, LOL! And now I'm reminded of the little animations on the Gameboy Camera of the man opening his mouth and a new head popping out. The line width seems okay as it is.

Another classic from Imagician. Kudos for keeping this long dormant project interesting again.
