Welcome to 8-bit Kingdom!Medieval tales of computer technology by Joe Lacey  A 90 page story book you can color! Illustrated in classic 8bit pixel art. 
 Joe Lacey reads from his book "8-bit Kingdom".  Princess Dos and the silver disks of destiny.  The "Tekncal Sea Port" of 8-bit Kingdom.  A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR  I made this book because of my love of classic arcade games of the 80s. There is something joyful in those little jagged edges and square circles moving around the screen. They have an innocence and are loaded with personality and often humor. When writing and illustrating 8-bit Kingdom, I strove to bring this personality and humor to each page – with pixels!  I made the art board 160 x 160 pixels in order to preserve that classic arcade feel. It’s impressive just how much character and emotion can be expressed in even the smallest pixel art image. A great amount of information can be delivered just a few pixels. Thirty pixels can depict a heroic fighter or cowardly person. It all depends upon the exact placement of the pixels. A pixel placed high - the character is happy, a pixel placed low - the character is angry. The idea of simple pixel art is actually an oxymoron. It can can be quite a challenge placing the correct pixel in the correct location to achieve the correct effect. So, welcome to 8-bit Kingdom! A collection of tales that blend retro gaming, personal computing, and fantasy role-playing all fully illustrated in classic 8-bit pixel art! I hope you enjoy reading it (and maybe even coloring it) as much as I enjoyed writing and illustrating it. Purchase 8-bit Kingdom HERE. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
