I updated my profile pic yesterday and gave credit in my bio, but thought I’d mention here as well - this pixelated avatar is from the fine folks at @Iconfactory. It was a bonus perk for contributing to #ProjectTapestry. I’m very pleased with how it turned out, especially considering the subject matter they had to work with. Maybe @gedeonm had something to do with it?
Anyway, I can’t wait for an early Beta and I’m thrilled with the new Avatar. Thanks.
Hi tapestry-team, I really like these pixel avatar photos. Unfortunately I missed the opportunity on Kickstarter - is there a new chance to get my own pixel avatar? Gladly by one-time purchase.. #PixelPortrait#ProjectTapestry
Best regards

Pixel portraits for Project Tapestry keep coming off the assembly line. If you purchased a portrait, hang in there - these pixels don't push themselves! #ProjectTapestry#Icons#pixelart
Boy the Apple Private Relay thing continues to be a problem for Tapestry Kickstarter backers. Don’t worry though, we’ll get your reward delivery sorted. 👍
More work designing the timeline for #projecttapestry today. Pretty happy with how it’s coming, but there’s a long way to go, so many unknowns ahead. Thankfully that’s the part I enjoy the most.
Designing for #projecttapestry is like opening Pandora’s Box, except that each day there’s an entirely new box to open and inside each one are ten more boxes. 🤯
Today’s the day when I think I finally got a handle on the timeline design for #projecttapestry. Still so much to do but the design of the content itself is coming along nicely. Whew!
Long but good UI design meeting today for #ProjectTapestry. Things are coming along nicely but more importantly @chockenberry approves. THATS ALL THAT MATTERS REALLY ISNT IT?
Tapestry’s timeline has been redesigned (again). Fourth time a charm I always say. Lots of improvements and better accessibility so it was more than worth it. #ProjectTapestry
One of the best things I learned from my instructors at RIT a billion lifetimes ago was the concept of signal vs noise in graphic design. It’s a guiding philosophy in my work & I use it almost every day. It’s been especially handy for the pixel portraits for #ProjectTapestry.
Does a placed pixel increase the message/clarity/signal or add distractions/junk/noise to the icon? It’s a constant struggle but once you “get” signal vs noise, designing becomes a whole lot more fun/effective. ✍️
If I didn’t have a million other things to do, I think I could spend all of my days just drawing pixel avatars for #ProjectTapestry. It’s extremely satisfying to render someone’s likeness in pixels.
Yay! My #WallarooApp access from backing #ProjectTapestry by @Iconfactory is set up. Enjoying the Stargazer theming right off the bat, but looking forward to swapping out for other themes once in a while.
Good news for Project Tapestry backers - we started sending out Wallaroo annual subscription codes yesterday for backers at the Linen level and above. If you backed at those levels and haven’t gotten an email yet, check your spam folder!
Additionally, if you've had problems receiving the code, try again! We were experiencing an issue with the system to distribute the codes initially but we believe it's been resolved. Thanks for your patience!
