I love these 8-bit illustrations which combine modern life with pixelized characters of 80’s popular video games, cult movies, politics etc. Their author, artist and designer Jude Buffum takes his inspiration from the surrounding world and his illustration technique is incredible.
Just can’t get enough of them.
