Free music for people who like that sort of thing (but if you don’t then please try not to take offense)

The Pixelton Blog: October 10th, 2007

So many fun adventures to have on hump day, but here is one more to add to the list: a free Radiohead album called “In Rainbows”.
Radiohead has released their new album for free to the internets and if you enjoy it you can pay what it is worth to you. Nifty, huh? Enjoy! (More updates [...]

Visual deconstruction of my Webcomic Idol potential

The Pixelton Blog: October 10th, 2007

So in the next few months I could be an IDOL. And no, not a singing or dancing celebrity - this title is much more prestigous. I’ve signed up for Webcomic Idol.
Can you feel the electricity in the cool night air? Hmm. Neither can I. Methinks tonights electricity is on hiatus due to God leaving [...]

Obscure Game Music to make you Smile (and my love for an inanimate cube)

The Pixelton Blog: October 17th, 2007

I beat Portal a few days back and I should make it very clear that I LOVE PORTAL. When you beat it they make you sign a waiver saying you will love it. The waiver is short but deadly, and I recommend you bring your own pen. Portal’s impact on me was especially ripe since [...]

Welcome to Pixelton Coloring Spectacular Video! (Comic 32)

The Pixelton Blog: October 23rd, 2007

The people of the future will be grateful for over obsessive ever-present cataloging of our lives. Archeological digs will now consist of watching movies. The mystique held by climbing through ancient wreckage will be lost, and instead ancient technology will be the hard to find endeavor. Beta, Floppy Disks, Laserdisc - dear God, it was [...]

This Post Sucks

The Pixelton Blog: October 25th, 2007

I’ve never talked about my ads before. That may be vaguely interesting to someone. Maybe. They run though Project Wonderful constantly in hopes to allure unsuspecting comic fans into my sticky candy web. I use them so much I’m a glowing testimonial. But my ads really only exist to do one thing, and they try [...]

The Prophecy is Fulfilled, with wedding bliss, a contest, and kind words circumventing my failures

The Pixelton Blog: October 29th, 2007

Hey kiddos. I’m diving deep into working on the super-secret Welcome to Pixelton graphic novel a bit now, but a new strip will be up mid-week. I’m excited to see the book coming together and can’t wait to share the “gimmick” I’ve been teasing endlessly. You will like it and will wonder why someone [...]

Grand Opening: The Pixelton Candy Superstore and Overpriced T-Shirt Emporium

The Pixelton Blog: November 7th, 2007

Good evening to you pixel people! You 8-bit warriors you.
Is it just here in Chicago that the temperature dropped to “God why have you forsaken me” levels? Sometime in the last week mother nature punted the ball and ran for the warm waves of the Bahamas. How I do dislike her. A NEW [...]

Entrepreneur Meme Fantastico

The Pixelton Blog: November 11th, 2007

meme
(pronounced [miːm] in IPA), as defined within memetic theory, comprises a theoretical unit of cultural information, the building block of cultural evolution or diffusion that propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution.

Super Mario called my house and my only response was to act like a complete and total idiot

The Pixelton Blog: November 13th, 2007

The title pretty much covers everything. This video may strain human/plumber relations in the upcoming UN talks. I hope to have a new comic ready for Thursday too so stay tuned! Oh,yes, and clowns are still very scary.
Action figures of regret,
- Josh

Free Indie Game to Break your Hearts - Passage

The Pixelton Blog: December 11th, 2007

UPDATE Jan 25, 2008: In an odd twist of fate, this post was featured in the Wall Street Journal. I’m very happy to see Passage get the press it deserves.
If you’re new here - welcome! I make a fun little web comic about a town of retired 8-bit heroes. See more here! [...]

Art Show & Tell, even in the darkest coldest days

The Pixelton Blog: December 12th, 2007

The dark days of December are eating me. I think it is a common feeling to have when trapped between two bitter seasons. But the chill has severely restricted my passion to work on the webcomic right now. Sorry. Alas, our special bond has been born through broken promises. And I’m working so much right [...]
