As I have written many times about Joe's artwork, these images drive me crazy in a positive way. This is definitely a world championship!

On the contrary Flex: My wish is to inspire others to go ahead with experiments, artistic journeys and developing this beloved art of ours; the passion of the machine, to be one of the finest communities ever with excellence in the arts!

This is indeed one of my favourites top/bottom border images by JOE (tied with the borderimage he made for Frontier[REU]). The switch between Koala and border is almost undetectable in these two pictures, something which is difficult to master (not from personal experience, but from looking at various workstages in these pictures - being the coder allows great insight into the creative process :-) ).
Having a sprite-layer across the entire image allows a level of detail close to FLI (well close enough for all intents and purposes).
Always fun pitching ideas for graphic-modes with JOE, and I look forward to working on the next idea he's having.

DGGR: Thanks!
Mirage: Haha, I guess so..

What a unique masterpiece this is. The screenshots here look absolutely amazing. However on the real thing they look even better. All of a sudden 16 colors seem multiplied by many factors :-)

Jailbird: Thank you! We have many similar adjectives (oxymorons) here, which is just as.. exciting ;)
Oswald: It sure would!

one of joe's c64 pics will end up on one of my walls. I want a purple wall this one would fit nicely :)

Amazing shit but the opened outline is able to capture something of our secret thoughts and its permutative behaviour. We can recognize an item here and there but the line always glides further with unlimited combination of associations. Curves of the consiousness, curves of the subconcious.

This deserves good quality prints and hanging on the wall.

its like we're and the c64 is not worthy for this art :) truly mindblowing.

Editing comment.. Pff. Ilesj, check memory, wipe the sprites and you'll see the background..
User Comment

Hires expanded sprites? 7 (sprites) x (24 pixels) x 2 (expanded)= 336, or in MC counted: 168 pixels width. No problem..
User Comment

And I thought Disconnect was pretty amazing. But this one takes it even further and looks even more refined (despite not going to side borders). Outstanding!

How do you manage the borders? You paint with two sprite colors at the borders with the whole width of the screen with no obvious loss of horizontal resolution? I don't get it!

Great picture!!! And of cource, with obvious influences from MC Escher (not a bad thing!). Although it beeing technically awesome and advanced, the composition doesn't feel 100% harmonic.
As Joe beeing more or less #1 graphican right now (in my mind), it should be ok with some feedback? ;-)
Anyways, almost a 10 from me!

Super excellent picture *as usual*. (I find it a little funny how it looks like a distance between the two front teeth, which gives the character a childish look.)

I used PixCen (unrestricted wide) and had to count the char-restrictions, disregarding $03, $0a & $06. Set up and tests was done with Photoshop.
