What is Pixel Moon?
Pixel Moon is an artist-owned, online commerce shop by pixel artist Kerrie Lake. Based in Hamilton, ON, Canada, Pixel Moon was launched in October 2023 and sells pixel art merch and gifts based on themes of gaming, nostalgia, magic, nature, cuteness, and femininity.
Pixel Moon aims to bring more pixel art into the real world, whether it's a sticker on your water bottle or a keychain on your bag, in order to squash the assumption that pixel art is just for video games!
By supporting and buying from Pixel Moon, you can help pixel art enter the mainstream and become a loved and respected medium just as any other. (As a bonus, you would also be supporting the dreams of a small Canadian artist, and that just makes you the coolest!). read more about the "Pixel Art Goes Mainstream" further down!

Meet The Artist!
Hello, I'm Kerrie Lake, a Toronto-born pixel artist with a lifelong passion for pixel art and game development.
With over six years of working freelance in the video game industry, I've contributed to games like TerminalQuest (formerly TwilioQuest), Calorie Defenders, Rise of the Third Power, Pushy and Pully in Blockland, and more!
I am also well-known in the pixel art community for my pixel art colour palettes such as Resurrect64, which is now the second most-downloaded colour palette on Lospec with over 145k downloads! My colour palettes are free to use and have been used in many indie games and pixel artworks.
Driven by a desire to create more art outside of just my freelance work, and also seeing a lack of representation of pixel art in many art markets, I've launched my shop Pixel Moon where I'm dedicated to sharing my passion of pixel art with the world.

Join the "Pixel Art Goes Mainstream" Movement!
Over the past several years, pixel art has had a major resurgence and boom in popularity online! Despite this, I still believe that outside of the online sphere, pixel art is still vastly viewed by the general public as just a nostalgic video game art-form.
That's why I want to make it part of my mission with Pixel Moon to show that pixel art is more than just a low-resolution medium for games, and that there are many talented artists out there making pixel artworks so beautiful, innovative, and meaningful, that they deserves to be hung up in galleries with some of the greats.
The wonderful pixel art community is growing more and more every day, as it is both easy to learn (yet hard to master!), and very accessible to new artists with little to no budget. All you need is a computer mouse and a pixel art program, which can range from free (MS Paint, Piskel, Graphics Gale) to inexpensive (Aseprite, Pyxel Edit)!
