Pixl-it for leel

News Details


A few days ago on thursday the 15th of May the well known members of PJ - Brian, Snader and Larwick met up in the city of Rotterdam in Holland and had some fun with post-it notes! Since it was leel's birthday a few days before we thought it'd be a great chance to dedicate something to her.

Snader is obviously in green, Larwick in grey and Brian in red. Incase you couldn't tell because of our laser-eyes.
Our restrictions were 400 post-its, 100 of each bright colour. The canvas (wall) was pretty much exactly 32 post-its in height.

Basically Larwick went to Rotterdam on a college trip, and since Brian and Snader live in Holland they just had to have a meeting. The 'Pixl-it'-ing took place on the top floor hallway of the hotel Larwick was staying at. A few guests at the hotel walked by as we were making it and seemed to enjoy it. We left it there afterwards with our 'signatures', for the lovely staff at the hotel to see it and supposedly rip it off the walls a bit later.

We spent a while in the hotel bar before-hand working out what it was we'd pixel onto the walls. Looking through Snader's sketchbooks we found a character and used the concept from there. It was a silhouette until we begun Pixl-it-ing, in which we added the colour and changed the design a little so it looked as cool as poss.

Also...
There were some dotted lines on the hotel bar floor, supposedly leading people to certain areas of the hotel. At any rate, Snader noticed they looked like pacman ...things, so we also made some little pacman and ghost post-its and left them there too. Unfortunately we were in a rush at the time so didn't get a picture of it. Trust, it was awesome.

Leel is not a girl.  Leel is a woman.

greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 5/19/2008 7:41:45 PM
Just noticed this thing. >_<

Anyways, it looks awesome. And bonus cool points to Snader, green is the cool people's color.

Majoris (Level 1 Jukyu) at 5/19/2008 6:23:13 PM
Leel's a girl? Happy belated leel. I did a post it note pixel once. It had 3 notes, and made a heart. I was so proud.

DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 5/19/2008 6:35:10 AM

Cheshire (Level 1 Intern) at 5/19/2008 4:56:13 AM

skamocore (Level 11 Psychopath) at 5/19/2008 2:34:56 AM

Metaru 2.0 :O

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 5/19/2008 1:16:27 AM
I'm not fail proof. that might be the reason.

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 5/19/2008 12:08:32 AM
Fuck yes. My response was obviously original and well thought of and no one could ever have thought of a better response.

Reo (Level 11 Sensei) at 5/18/2008 11:30:33 PM

M.E. (Level 4 Team Leader) at 5/18/2008 12:58:43 AM
Real Cool Idea!

POST-IT Challenges across the world!
Would love to see other countries / states do the same!

(* Shamelessly invites himself for next year in Holland *)

This could be our take to the sand-castle-mania / ice-sculping-frantic
and even to have ourself be sponsored by Post-IT ?



skeddles (Level 11 Psychopath) at 5/17/2008 9:33:37 PM
Thats great! Actually, you guys inspired me to try my own.

Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 5/17/2008 6:25:34 PM
I've met quite a lot of pixel artists from the forums now (st0ven, monsoon2d, ben2theedge, darkfalsx, and josh), but nothing fun has become of it... makes me regret a few things.

Saboteur (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 5/17/2008 5:25:01 PM
I`ve always wanted to paint a giant pac-man on the road. Gotta love dotted lines.

Plus brian`s sig is hilarious. Love that guy.

Reo (Level 11 Sensei) at 5/17/2008 3:30:32 PM

Vertigo-Zero (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 5/17/2008 3:20:23 PM

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) at 5/17/2008 3:18:04 PM

That's pretty cool.

Maybe I could meet Jal in Florida this summer xD


Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 5/17/2008 3:01:46 PM
Pssh, everyone has to be so half-empty.
@BD: I'd never met them before, or anyone i've known from the internet in fact. Although Brian and Snader had met before. But i do have their msnz.

Zenobia (Level 1 Depressed) at 5/17/2008 2:40:44 PM
Your fellow Dutch pixel artists are going to launch a counter attack for not inviting us.
Just wait.

dumbo (Level 10 Master Sniper) at 5/17/2008 2:29:38 PM
There goes another rain forest...

BlackDragon (Level 11 Godfather) at 5/17/2008 2:06:29 PM
Lol, you guys really met. Did you know each other before?

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 5/17/2008 1:49:43 PM
Sorry guys! D: It was a bit short notice tbh, i only told Snader the day before i went >_>
shmupstick, i guess you should call it the post-it palette or something, since it's the common colours that post-its come in. :)

Vertigo-Zero (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 5/17/2008 1:47:45 PM
They should have invited me an blueberry pie as well :( whe are dutch too you know
