TCTD Awards 2009: Best Visual Artist

By Peter Swimm, on January 22nd, 2010

The life of a pixel artist is at once simpler yet more complex than that of the chip musician. They are constrained by their chosen platforms just as much as their musical counterparts, but lacking the crutches of sequencers and other musician friendly tools they have to reply on their raw talent and vision to create works that express their artistic style and voice. Here are your 2009 Best Visual Artist Nominees.
