welcome to our pixel sprite & ascii garden!

here, you'll find some of our local ecology represented in text and pixel
form along with their file sizes. we're growing this garden both as a fun
creative exercise, as well as a response to how heavy web media has become,
and how that weight has earthly consequences.

lo-fi digital art forms are not only much lighter weight, but have a beauty
in and of themselves that we're increasingly passionate about.

you are welcome to replant the files here in your own garden, but please credit
us (Hummingcrow & Co) if you do.
