Kind words from our users

Over the long weekend, a few new posts about XOXCO products appeared. It's always nice to see kind words written about our apps!

Here's one about Make Pixel Art:

A comprehensive program that will work with many artists of the pixel in a community with room for all levels and continues to grow.

And here's an article that makes a case for SendTab (or something SendTab-like) being built into Apple's iCloud:

iPad. iPhone. MacBook. Work Windows PC.

This is a very common set of devices for somebody to have. We try to sync all our data between them, but there is still not a solid way. As great as iCloud is, it still does not cover some syncing between devices that should be standard. One of those, is tab syncing for browsers.

Here is another progress video of the one of the new features I am working on for the next release of Make Pixel Art.

You can now drag isometric boxes in any direction to create 3D boxes with only two gestures.  The boxes automagically shade themselves, so all you've got to do is fill in the details to create isometric buildings and other objects.

Make Pixel Art is also being featured on the FRONT PAGE of the iPad app store as a "New and Noteworthy" app!  Hooray for pixels!

Edward Scissorhands!

I watched the first half of this movie last night on Netflix and it reminded me why I originally fell in love with Johnny Depp: he looks great in makeup and leather.

More fun stuff made with www.makepixelart.com which is now in open beta GO TRY IT.

I have always found the Sherwin-Williams logo and slogan to be unnecessarily creepy.

My real life pixel art show is officially open.  Here's the page I put together about it.

As regular readers of my blog know, I've also been working on a pixel art app called Make Pixel Art. Since I really want the things I make, online or offline, to be interactive and get people to play together, I'm inviting people who come to see my show (and also everyone else) to join in the process of making pixel art with me using the free beta version of the app I've been blogging about for months.

Click here to start a new drawing in Make Pixel Art. Works best fullscreen in Chrome, Safari and recent versions of Firefox. Full version coming soon for iPad + Chrome.  If you draw something cool, post it to your tumblr or on Mlkshk, or tweet @makepixelart so we can check it out.

I should mention that the beta comes stuffed full of reusable pixel stamps that you can use in your own drawings, including totally radical stuff from the very talented and tumblr famous lulinternet, and our pals who make robots at Bleep Labs!  Oh, and an embarrassingly large number of things I drew myself.

...

At this point its not exactly clear to me whether I built the app to make the art, or whether making the art required building the app, especially considering that since pretty early on, I've been using the app to build the app.  But now there is art and an app, and hopefully people will enjoy both.

This is my first test of LULINTERNET+MAKEPIXELART.

I'd say the results unbelievably promising.

I just drew the entire team here at XOXCO for the Make Pixel Art "about" popup.
