      About the Author

      Hi, I’m Choly Knight, and I’m a total geek for all kinds of cartoon and gaming culture! I’m constantly sewing and crafting cool things for myself and for friends inspired by TV shows like Pokémon and Adventure Time and games like Minecraft! It’s one of my greatest pleasures to take the beautiful, creative ideas found in games and TV shows that I’m a fan of and find a way to make them physical and tangible. Sometimes you can buy fan items from games, shows, and books, but I love to challenge myself and craft things with my own two hands.

      I have been crafting for as long as I can remember, and have drawn, painted, sculpted, and stitched everything in sight. After studying studio art and earning a BA in English, I now enjoy trying to find numerous different ways to combine my passions for writing, fine art, and craft art. I focus on handcrafted clothing, accessories, and other creations inspired by Japanese art, anime, and style, and I specialize in cosplay (costume play) hats and hoodies.

      I’ve had fun writing many sewing books that feature my cool, whimsical designs, like Sew Kawaii!, Sew Your Own Pet Pillows, Sew Baby, Sewing Stylish Handbags & Totes, Sew Me! Sewing Basics, Sew Me! Sewing Home Decor, and Sew Me! Sewing Accessories. I also love using all sorts of mediums besides fabric to craft, and have published books about the fun stuff I’ve made with products like duct tape (Awesome Duct Tape Projects) and decoden (Bling It Up!). You can find out more about me and my work on my website: www.cholyknight.com.

      Welcome to a Pixel World!

      You’ve been living in a pixel world whether you’ve realized it or not. Pixel art is a rising trend in a number of fields and has been garnering quite a bit of positive attention in recent years. Video games, art, architecture, interior design, handicrafts, and more are all being influenced every day by what we see and engage with on the screens of our computers, TVs, and mobile devices. But even though nowadays resolutions have skyrocketed and animation has advanced by leaps and bounds, there are plenty of people who are calling back to the nostalgic, inspiring world of pixels.

      Now, this book could have been much, much longer if we had attempted to cover more areas related to pixel art. There is a rich history behind it and plenty of applications for it in the modern day. But time, demand, and budgets prevailed, and we decided to focus on one game: the international gem Minecraft, which maps 2-D pixel art onto a 3-D world and thrives on the players’ creativity and imagination.

      There are other video games we could have included in this book, but none of them seemed so ideal for the artistic crafter as Minecraft, since aspects of and items from the game can be easily translated into both 2-D and 3-D real-life items. And unlike many other games, Minecraft is not only family-friendly, but also appeals to a wide range of ages. It is not just for little kids—plenty of creative adults have discovered how fun and fulfilling it is to create worlds rather than destroy enemies.
