The pixel paintings

Every pixel, painted by hand.

16-bit sprites rebuilt square by square in oil paint. Part nostalgia, part patience. Small enough for a shelf, strange enough to start a conversation.

Russ Renshaw in his home studio

The artist

Self-taught, slightly subversive, Southern Maine.

Russ Renshaw has spent more than 20 years making things: photography, design, and oil paintings. He paints from his home studio in Southern Maine, drawn to the natural world around him, the games he grew up on, and the shadows that sit beside him.

His work hangs in private collections across the country.
