We've all seen pixalated art before, but many have ever experienced anything as low-res as these Iotacons by Andy Rash pieces. Impressively still recognizable, each art piece is modeled after some kind of pop culture reference such as the Ghostbusters or Snap Crackle and Pop (from Rice Krispies).
Created by the Brooklyn-based artist, the Iotacons by Andy Rash series is not his usual style of illustrations. Dabbling in editorial, conceptual and portrait work, he is a talented artist with a quirky sense of humor.
