TAPACRON - pixel art chronicle starting from 2024


icon

Hello everyone! My name is elwis, and I want to share a project I've been working on all of last year: http://tapacron.com

The idea is to create a pixel art chronicle over decades, capturing popular events, persons and memes. The project is ad-free, non-commercial, purely for art.  

How it works:

The canvas grows by 1 pixel every day starting from January 1, 2024.
When someone colors a pixel, others see it in real-time.
If a pixel isn't recolored for over 30 days, it freezes and stays that way forever. Pixels not frozen are marked with dots.
 To draw, zoom in on the canvas.
Drag the palette for more colors.
No need to register; all pixels are anonymous.

Come on in, draw, and invite your friends! Let's create something epic together.

FUN FACT: The project is inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, the 70 metres long embroidered cloth that depicts the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.

Thanks! It's fascinating to observe how the canvas changes over time. I will be creating time-lapses every month.
