I really like the layout and style of the site. I never had a mac growing up so its not a nostalgia thing, I just appreciate the compactness with contrast
The art is also very good. Its hard to get that level of "colour" with limited resolution
It's insane, how far our industry has come in less than a single human lifetime. I wish I could see what will become of it in a few centuries.
I love pixel art and specifically monochrome pixel art like this.
It's a pity this blog was so short lived, I can only see 7 entries and only 2 Hokusai prints. Oh well, my own blogs usually don't fare much better.
somebody explained me that the correct way to appreciate this painting is to invert it on horizontal axis.
the reason is, japanese is read from right to left.
once you invert it you can appreciate it better
Very nice work. I've always loved the aesthetic of hand crafted monochrome pixel art.

Curious about the "no derivatives" license. Surely anything derivative would be of the original now public domain art and not this. I do not see how this could as a practical matter be enforced. IANAL though.
