Christian Faur’s Crayon Pixel-Art

Posted by Queuebot in Art on February 26, 2009 at 12:11 am

It’s amazing what some people can creatively do with everyday objects, and Christian Faur has recently dropped my jaw … He makes pixel-art out of crayons, No not drawing with them, but using them stacked in a tray to make a picture.

My earliest memories of making art involve the use of wax crayons. I can still remember the pleasure of opening a new box of crayons: the distinct smell of the wax, the beautifully colored tips, everything still perfect and unused. Using the first crayon from a new box always gave me a slight pain. Through a novel technique that I have developed, I again find myself working with the familiar form of the crayon.
