make8bitart.com started as a proof of concept to design and build an 8-bit art creator using CSS. Over a hundred div boxes created a grid, and jQuery was used to change the color of that div at mouseover.

After suggestions to allow users to save their artwork with a press of a button (and not by having to print screen), I started experimenting with html5 canvases and ajax calls to save the art to a png file.

I am collaborating with various artists to create a whole gallery of art frames to add to this page, with different grid sizes and frame shapes and looks. If you're interested in contributing, please let me know.
