Pixel art – background tiles
Here’s a set of tiles I created with Spritesomething on my iPad on a trip.
Here’s an image created with the tiles. Could be used in a platform game as the background.
Spritesomething – iPad/iPhone app
Here’s a great app for drawing pixel art on your iPhone/iPod and iPad.

I highly recommend this. I have been playing with it for hours the last few weeks. It’s really fun and easy to use. It includes a lot o great features for making games. Draw anywhere you have iPhone/iPod and or iPad, at the cafe on the train or on the bus. Draw a quick icon of a beer bottle or martini glass at the pub with your drink as a model! Draw a quick pixel art portrait of your favorite bartender with one hand and your *drink in the other. (I don’t recommend drawing while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. All references to drinks in this article are fruit juice only.)
Icon design
Ever wonder where the original Mac icons came from?

Do you have Self Control?
May be not. Do you need self control? Maybe. Self control is app that blocks incoming and outgoing mail servers for a predetermined period of time. It effectively lets you turn off email, twitter and facebook updates until you’re done with what you are working on.
