Hell0, welcome to Pinecone.

For my first post here I thought I would share a little about myself and what I’ve accomplished so far in my journey. Here goes!

Hi! My name is Russ, from Pinecone Graphic.

I am a father, husband, Pittsburgh Penguins fan, pixel artist and game designer. I also prefer the fireplace channel over the aquarium channel and drink my coffee with two cream and three sugar.

I began creating pixel art and exploring game development in 2014. I realized quickly that if I were to want to program my own games I would need to learn a lot of things from the bottom up, and the curve has been extremely steep for me. I continue to experiment with coding, using GameMaker Studio’s GML and Lua via the PICO8 fantasy console to make small, hacked together things which I like to share, but I found it much easier to excel at pixel art as a medium for games.

Here is a chrono-list of the completed projects I’ve made pixel art for. I’ll update this as needed.
