2018 年儿子出生后，作者开始寻找一种比之前“富士山”像素画系列更省时的创作方式。他从表情符号中找到了完美的解决方案：这些精致的微型艺术作品，完美复刻了早期 32x32 像素图标的创作局限。 2019 年夏天，他花费数周时间，将 42 个苹果表情符号重制为 1-bit 像素艺术作品。此后，他将这些作品以知识共享（CC BY-NC-ND 4.0）许可协议向公众开放，欢迎他人将其用于个人项目，但需注明出处并附上其网站链接。

最近的一场 Hacker News 讨论聚焦于 1-bit 像素艺术表情符号的怀旧魅力，这些表情展示在名为 *Hypertalking* 的网站上。用户称赞该项目唤起了人们对早期 Macintosh 计算、HyperCard 以及标志性设计师苏珊·凯尔（Susan Kare）作品的回忆。该讨论帖引发了关于低位深美学（low-bit aesthetics）创造性应用的广泛探讨。技术建议包括利用透明打印层产生视差效果，以及使用特定的 CSS 设置来优化渲染。一位开发者分享了他使用系统字体、归一化和拜耳抖动算法生成 1-bit 表情符号的过程。其他人则指出，人们对 Playdate 等现代硬件上的 1-bit 设计兴趣日益浓厚。尽管部分参与者争论了该网站平铺背景带来的“视觉疲劳”以及现代写作中破折号的普遍使用，但总体共识反映出人们对 1-bit 像素艺术之美及其简约风格的深切赞赏，认为它是现代高分辨率设计的一种令人耳目一新的替代方案。

After my first son arrived in 2018, I didn’t have much time to work on the time-intensive Mount Fuji pixel art series any more (again, I hope to get back to this somehow soon).

However, I enjoyed clicking all the pixels on and off and wanted to keep doing it.

So what could I complete fairly quickly rather than a project that drags on?

What was small and could still give me the fun of creating something intricate?

Well one day it hit me — a bit obvious — but emojis are all little tiny works of art. I could recreate them as 1-bit pixel art.

Another neat thing about emojis — they kind of have the same vibe as what icons were like back when all we had was small screen resolutions and 32 x 32 pixel icons. Limited space in which to get across an idea — a great creative constraint!

So, for a few weeks in Summer 2019 I noodled about recreating a bunch of Apple’s emojis.

In the end I drew 42 of them before I got tired of it. Here they are for your amusement:
