The Complete Guide to Isometric Pixel Art

“Isometric Pixel Art (IPA) is a modern form of digital art that only recently has been accepted as a new art form. Iím sure most of us have seen this typical type of artwork in old games such as ëX-Comí or the relatively old ëUltima Onlineí. The 2-Dimentional (2D) representation of a 3-Dimentional (3D) object is fascinating to many people. This is possibly because of the simplicity and amount of small details that can fit into a single IPA piece.”

file magazine : a collection of unexpected photography

“The purpose of FILE is to collect and display photographs that treat subjects in unexpected ways. Alternate takes, odd angles, unconventional observations ó these are some of the ways photographs collected in FILE reinterpret traditional genres. We leave the Kodak Moments to the family album, the glossy fashion spreads to Vogue, and the photo finishes to ESPN. Rather than taking the well-trod paths, we veer to left and get a different perspective.”
