Here is a super impressive piece of early pixel art - it’s ‘4 Byte Burger’, by Jack Haege. This image was printed in the September 1985 issue of Amiga World magazine. In order to reproduce the image in the magazine it had to be photographed from a computer monitor. The image was actually displayed sideways, and then the photograph was rotated for printing in the magazine; hence why the scan lines are vertical instead of horizontal.

In 1985, Commodore International hired several top-notch artists to create artwork using their new Amiga personal computer. Much of that artwork was printed in their magazine, Amiga World.

    That was pretty rad! Thanks for sharing. It kind of reminded me of that looney toons level in gex except pixel animation made on an Amiga. I checked out some of the gameplay. It seemed like it was a pretty fun play at the time on Amiga when a lot of games were quite slow paced.
