[...] In this digital age, almost everything is made up of pixels. Dots upon dots of colors combined together to form a single image. But what would these pixels look like when they come to life? Artist Shawn Smith shows us just that. All the rage in the art world, his wooden sculptures have a 3-D effect that is reminiscent of blurry pixilated images on Firefox that has maxed out its view in zoom. Using small pieces of wood as individual pixels to form one complete image, Shawn Smith’s works explores the intersection between the digital world and reality. Through his representations of animals and objects of nature, Shawn challenges the idea how we often experience nature through technology. Pretty rad, no? Check out more of his works here. [...]

Woah, awesome work.
Insane! Really good. Love the subtle details of the different colored cubes.
three dimensional pixel art!
Are those sugar cubes? These are blowing my mind! Organic pixel art.
what’s it made out of?
The phoenix is incredible! What’s it made of?
Haha, I think it’s actually a peacock, and the material is supposed to be wood.
Reminds me of Jenga pieces, I love the fox.
I think AC is referring to the flames-in-a-cage when zhe referenced the phoenix.
I really idea of using an organic material like wood to make digital-esque art… So clever!
Really LIKE. Sorry.
They look like sugar cubes…
Wow, very cool. The vultures picking apart the typewriter is very smart. Great work
Also, if they were sugar cubes how were they coloured? I’m pretty sure it would dissolve if he used any sort of wet substance to colour them (ie. ink, paint etc.)
It says at the top “wood sculptures”
