Another one of those pixel & infographic artists? Well yes, although Jude Buffum does it mostly for the fun rather than for the “artistic” recognision (and also for the €€€ of course)….
Originally from Philadelphia he graduated from the Tyler School of Art in 2001 with a BFA in Graphic Arts and Design, where he went on to teach design and typography courses for five years. While he was a part of the design and illustration duo Headcase Design (2002–2007), Jude designed books for such pop-culture phenomena as the Broadway show “Wicked” and HBO’s “The Sopranos”, as well as the best-selling book The Baby Owner’s Manual, which he also illustrated.
His latest series of famous 8-bit characters were designed for the “Pixel Pushers: An Exploration of 8‐Bit Digital Media” exhibition at the Scion Installation L.A. Gallery (curated by Giant Robot) and that will be open until December 11th.
Some other of his works this way or on his website.
