PyDPainter, pronounced "Pied Painter" (like Pied Piper), is an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame. The original inspiration came from the Commodore Amiga version of Deluxe Paint released by Electronic Arts in 1985. Back then, Deluxe Paint helped define the user interface of a paint program with tool bars, menus, and the novel use of left and right mouse buttons for painting and erasing. After pixel art gave way to photo-realism and high-resolution 24 bit color, Deluxe Paint was largely forgotten for artistic work -- left behind in the ever-progressing march of technology.
Recently, with a resurgence of all things "retro," low-resolution pixel art and limited color palettes have become popular once again. Many tools to deal with this medium are either too complicated or too crude. This project is an attempt to bring back an old but reliable tool and enhance it with some features to help it better coexist in the modern world.
Toynbee Tiles refer to a message and a medium invented by a Philadelphia artist in the 1980’s. This site explores the story and the meaning behind the work.
In 1993, I was heading to the arcade with a pocketful of quarters when I noticed a Toynbee Tile embedded in the asphalt near 16th and Chestnut Streets in center city Philadelphia. That moment put me on a path that culminated in my participation in the Sundance Award winning documentary, Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles. The film led to a ton of interest in the tiles. This site was created as a response to many of the most common questions and misconceptions about them.

The idea for Loose Ends came about when the founders, Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized that they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones. They always do so enthusiastically, understanding what it feels like to wear something a loved one has made.
When Loose Ends receives a project submission, we look through our database of finishers to find a good match. With an eye toward geography, skill level, and druthers, we will identify a good fit based on the information volunteer finishers submitted in their profiles. The next step is running this by the finishers themselves to find out if they’re feeling it too.
Once a finisher says yes to a project, we make the connection by introducing the finisher and project holder in an email. Then… we step away and let the project evolve within this new connection. We are always here to troubleshoot, advise or reassign if needed.

Game of Shrooms is a once a year world-wide art N seek event created by Attaboy. The next Game of Shrooms happens on June 10th, 2023. On that day, artists from all over the world hide their original mushroom-themed art works in public places then they give hints (often on social media) for others to find AND KEEP!
Game of Shrooms is like an Easter Egg Hunt for art and celebrates the spirit of unexpected surprises. Started in 2019 by Attaboy. Artists and gatherers from Hong Kong, Berlin, Japan, the UK, India, Russia, Switzerland, Tasmania, the US, and many more participated in the world-wide event, creating a world-wide non-religious, no cost, personally interactive “art show” of making and sharing, suspense and sometimes absolute freakin’ wonder.
Nathan Anderson did some beautiful concept art of Neuromancer for his senior thesis.
As a musician based in Berlin, I have taken my inspiration from the Cyberpunk 2020 roleplaying game books and translated them into a unique blend of music and art. My goal is to create an immersive world that captures the dark, gritty atmosphere of a futuristic metropolis.
With Night City Café, I have created a musical and visual experience that transports the listener into the neon-lit streets of a technologically advanced city. The project invites the audience to explore a world filled with shady characters and cutting-edge technology.
As a lover of the cyberpunk genre, I wanted to create something that truly captured its essence. Through my music and art, I aim to showcase the captivating and terrifying world of Night City Café. I hope you will join me on this immersive journey as we explore the depths of this futuristic world.
