The world in a square

An artist from Italy draws pop culture characters in pixel art for his Instagram

is gaining popularity on Instagram The blog @the_oluk , the author of which depicts recognizable pop culture characters using multi-colored pixel squares.

Instagram @the-oluk belongs to Manolo Saviantoni, an art director from the small Italian town of Ciampino. At the time of publication of this material, the number of his subscribers exceeded 11 thousand people.

The first Pixel Art pictures appeared on his blog in the spring, but Manolo had made similar images before to play with his daughters. He showed them pictures in the evenings after work, and the girls had to guess who was depicted in them.

My work is usually inspired by video games, films and cartoons. It's great that you can make people smile with tiny colored squares
