Self Portrait in Pixel
Digital cameras have create an explosive growth in the self-indulgent “art” of camwhoring: the self portrait, an arms-length attempt at striking a balance between looking good and not looking like a jerk — or in the case of girls, like a slut. Those are the pitfalls of the now-ubiquitous profile picture. Courtesy of Wil113, I have a better suggestion: the 32 pixel avatar creation kit. It’s a Photoshop file, so this doesn’t apply to everyone but those that can should download it. He’s included a decent amount of variety in his layers, and quite frankly, it’s a lot of fun to play around with. Download and enjoy.
