- eBoy




eBoy ("Godfathers of Pixel") is a pixel art group
 founded in 1998 by Steffen Sauerteig, Svend Smital, Kai Vermehr. Based in Berlin, eBoy's founders collaborate with Peter Stemmler in New York to produce graphic design work for companies.

Their work makes intense use of popular cul
ture and commercial icons, and their style is presented in three-dimensional isometric illustrations filled with robots, cars, guns and girls. Their unique style has gained them a cult following among graphic designers worldwide[citation needed], as well as a long list of commercial clients.
eBoy has worked with named brands and companies such as Coca-Cola, MTV, VH1, Adidas, and Honda. They have also worked in creating the album cover for Groove Armada's 2007 studio album Soundboy Rock.

I feel the tediousness of this design when viewing it, feels like it must be a painstakingly boring task, but Is very visually a
ppealing to me. Reminds me very much of pop art! I like the development process, how they've started with small charecters and moved on to developing entire cities.
