Toy Story Pixel art - Perler bead reclaimed art work alteration original artwork
Toy Story is truly a vintage classic that also has a place in modern culture. The original hit movie was released in 1995 and at the time it stood out as being one of the very first fully computer animated feature length movies and put Pixar on the map. Unforgettable characters like Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody gave kids a sense of awe and wonder about the secret lives of their toys and for adults it gave us a nostalgic glimpse back into our childhood where anything was possible. This piece captures a small bit of the magic that toys bring into our lives.
This is an altered work of art, meaning the background was left untouched and a hand made fuse bead (or Perler bead as it's commonly called) creation was added on top making a new original piece of artwork for your wall.
The original piece is a print under glass with a painted wood frame. The total piece, frame included, measures approx 14" x 14". Fuse bead artist signature is on the back.
Q: Why did you destroy all of these perfectly working video games, are you some kind of crazy person?
A: I only use non working video game parts in my creations. If I get a hold of something that works or if I can fix it easily then I will not make art out of it. The crazy part is debatable.
Q: What types of gaming systems/controllers do you use?
A: Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, N64, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii and Wii U, Playstation 1, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Atari 2600, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast and others. Let me know if you want me to use a system or controllers not mentioned here, I can most likely find it.
Q: Where do you get all of the video games?
A: Rummage sales, auctions, and video game stores who want to get rid of their broken stuff.
