On This Episode of The Memo Show:

I got to speak with Johnny Schwinn aka Pixelsbyoptimu5, whose art I discovered at Megabyte Nation Game Expo and was too cool to not share with my listeners and viewers.

Inspired by 8, 16, and 32-Bit video games, he depicts nostalgic, classic, and traumatic scenes and characters using colorful mixed media .

He tells us about growing up in a very musical and art filled home and how he got started networking with other artists live streaming live art.

We talk about our love for video games, the effect it had on us during childhood, and how he enjoys creating art that resonates with people who are fans of classic games as well.

The conversation moves to his love of conventions and how they provide a platform for artists to showcase their work.

We also touch on future projects and commissions he is currently working on.

Throughout the interview I’ve had permission to display his artwork for you. The video version of this interview is available on Youtube and Spotify!
