Stipinpixel: Art, Pets, and Creative Mischief

Meet Pixel Artist Pablo aka Stipinpixel

We caught Pablo just before his trip to Tokyo for EDCON 2024. Known as Stipinpixel in the crypto art space, Pablo combines art and pets into purrfect masterpieces. He has a knack for turning everyday moments into pixelated magic. His fluffy gray cat Suri and quirky dachshund Marta add humor and chaos to his creative process. Whether it’s Suri’s war on cups or Marta’s adventures in the park, Pablo’s pet-filled life fuels his artistic journey.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Pablo, known as Stipinpixel in the web3 space. I’ve been in web3 since 2021, working in interior design and pixel art. Currently, I’m finding a way to mix design and art to create more interactive pieces, like video games.

For fun, I do a lot of things. I play with my cat and my dachshund, create pixel art, and take evening walks in the park with my girlfriend. I also love cooking and taking care of my plants.

My furrends

Suri is my fluffy gray cat, and he is a year and six months old. My heart sister gave him to me; he used to live with her and my nieces and nephews, along with 13 other cats! I’ve had him since he was very little. I named him Suri because, when he was small, he looked like the suri animals from northern Argentina. His worst enemy is cups! Whenever he sees one, he knocks it over, regardless of whether it has water in it. He’s a serial cup-hater. The house rule is “no cups on the desks”— before going to bed, we have to put away all the glass cups. Suri was raised for a year with his brother Matamune! In fact, when I have to travel, they get to see each other again. They see each other often.

Marta is the dachshund who came into my life along with my girlfriend, with whom I’ve been living for a few months. Marta is 11 years old, which is considered geriatric in dog years. She gets along well with Suri; sometimes, they bark and meow at each other a bit, but when we leave, they sleep together. They are very sweet. Marta is a crazy dog who absolutely LOVES going outside. She’s happiest when she’s outdoors. She has many quirks and thinks she’s a cat. She separates her food before eating and sleeps under the blanket with us in the same bed. Suri does this, too. Marta is also a traveler and occasionally visits her human grandma.

My inspriations

A lot of my art is inspired by my furry pets. They’re a big part of my life, and I love capturing their funny or cute moments and bringing them to life through pixel art and GIFs. I also have a knack for noticing details, especially when I’m out and about. I always manage to spot a hidden cat or some overlooked scene that others might miss.

Cat videos

I love watching cat videos! My friend Fernando and I often send each other videos of cats or dogs, especially the cute ones or those doing funny things with humans.

Any animal video is always wonderful to watch; it brightens up the day. As for creating video content, I think you just have to be attentive to your furry pet’s spontaneity! Also, give them a toy to keep them active!

About Furrend

I think Furrend is a fantastic app! It’s a space where you can just scroll and see your virtual friends’ pets or epic moments with random animals. I believe it’s a healthy space; it’s like going to a cat café. I get the same feeling from the app. In fact, I’ll try to use it more often.

We thank Pablo for sharing his story with us. You can follow him on X/Twitter, and visit his here.
