Pixel Joint - About Us
Pixel Joint Revealed
Pixel Joint is all about the pixel art community.
The site was started in September 2004 by the rogue pixeller sedgemonkey, but the tools were not in place to submit pixel art until December 7, 2004.
Since the site has opened to submissions the gallery has grown steadily, a forum was opened and a couple of
collaborative projects (The Joint and Lil Dudes) were given homes.
Here are some of the whack jobs who helped make the site what it is today...

sedgemonkey (Level 10 Master Sniper :: 37688 points)
Luke Sedgeman from Woodland Hills, CA, United StatesJoined the team Wednesday, August 08, 2001 Like many other pixel art fanactics, sedgemonkey's love of the pixel was rooted in the glory days of 8 and 16 bit Nintendo/Sega console games and the arcade classics of the late 80s and 90s. Sedgemonkey didn't really start pixelling until around January 2004, but quickly became obsessed with creating a site to showcase all the different pixel artists out there -- Pixel Joint. With his pixel work done, sedgemonkey is roaming the country aimlessly seeking shelter in dumpsters, convenience store bathrooms, doghouses and the occasional militia compound. |

Kel Davies from Irvine, CA, United StatesJoined the team Monday, May 17, 2004 The_keller has always loved art in all its forms, but he was never very good at actually creating it. He just likes to collect things and bury them in his yard. He has 200+ anime DVDs, 3000+ comic books and 30K+ art pieces collected on his computer and a massive collection of games and systems (Atari 2600, Nintendo, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, SNES, Atari Jaguar, TurboGrafx, Nintendo 64, Atari Lynx, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, XBox, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, PSP). He can out-nerd any nerd for sure. |

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal :: 11359 points)
Ivan Dixon from Melbourne, AustraliaJoined the team Wednesday, December 08, 2004 Starting life in the slums of rural Australia, Ivan Dixon (better known as 'iSTVAN'), began his humble career as a Kliker; creating games and graphics to be distributed over the internet during the late nineties. With ever a keen eye for art, iSTVAN found his true passions lay in the graphical aspects of game making -- namely pixel art. He quickly rose in the pixel ranks to his current position of internet stardom which he is prone to profess loudly as an icebreaker, when introducing himself to people at parties. Ivan also enjoys watching tv, movies, and arguing. He's created many games and worked on a number of comedy based comics. His dog's name is Indy. |
