Angleworm Embroidery

80's kid videogame nerd thread artist. I've been doing embroidery for around a year, and running juried craft fairs in Minneapolis & St. Paul, Minnesota since 2006.

The original cross-stitched pixel art that got me started. The Scythian, from iOS game Sword & Sworcery.

This is some of my earliest embroidery, from July 2014. I've gotten a lot better since then!

Iconic characters from Street Fighter II. 

For these original patterns, I take gigantic fighting game character sprites that are thousands of pixels in size, and “de-make” them into 8-bit-styled sprites less than 30 pixels square. The challenge (and fun) is to keep these iconic characters recognizable with drastically reduced proportions.
