We love KidPix! There are some pieces of software that have a particular sort of nostalgic attachment, a way of resting in the consciousness of even those who may never have used them.
These pieces are all submitted by the community and represent a wide range of artist ages, skill levels, and levels of familiarity with the program. They also represent a wide range of artistic styles and content choices.
While there is no explicit work in the exhibit, there are some themes that may be upsetting including knives, skulls/skeletons and bugs. Please use your own discretion.
From the artist: Kicked off by me; executed by Kid Pix. A collaboration with the in-browser app version. I noticed with the 'dot splash' tool, holding the mouse down meant Kid Pix just kept adding more dots; it felt very painterly — Damien Hirt's spots, Yayoi Kasama, and all that...but still true to the nature of the app and fun of the prompt. A time limit to frame the idea a bit more: Noticed Kid Pix was created 33 years ago in '89...It happens that 1989 divided by 60 (seconds) was also about 33 (33.15). So, 33-ish minutes felt right. I opened the app, selected the dot-splash tool, set a timer for 33-ish minutes, and placed a weight on my mouse to keep the button depressed. I screen recorded this, if you ever want that, too. My submission to this show is the image as it looked when I eventually released the button, around 33 min in. I think it draws about 6 dots a second; hard to say for sure as some are white. But if that's the average, then 33 min x 60 sec x 6 dots per sec = 11,880 dots.
this was the best game on the school computers, back in my elementary school days, and I'm delighted to discover it still slaps.

From the artist: It had to be that small cause of saving limitations on my Windows 98 PC! I made it years ago on my stream on my childhood CD of Kidpix Deluxe, which is still sitting around somewhere and I occasionally break out to make Bob Ross inspired pieces like this. This is by far the best one, though. I think Bob would really appreciate us making art inspired by his videos using outdated and silly software like Kidpix!
Blue background with a yellow sun, in the foreground there is a floating island with grass and brown rocks on the top and exposed dirt underneath, the suggestion of icicles flowing from it at three points. on top, a bluebird sits on a rock.
An anthropomorphic cougar wearing blue shorts and a headband lounges on a patterned rug, holding a sword. a tea set is in front of him, sitting in the grass. There are several other rugs around, and in the background the suggestion of trees and buildings. A bubble floats to the left of the cat, over his shoulder
a picnic on grassy green hills with trees in the background. the central tree has oranges. there are many many animals of all kinds, eating and flying kites. all the creatures are made with the built-in stamps and are very cute.
