Celebrity pixel portraits

80sheroes

How great are these mini pixel portraits? Very Important Pixels are created by Beligan designer Kristof Saelen who offers up a new set every week. What I find remarkable is that the recognizability of these portraits is due not just to choosing iconic characters; Kristof manages to capture each person’s true likeness in that tiny grid of pixels.

    Brilliant work and incredible detail. I love the James Bond ones, in particular.
