Hi everyone,

Like a few others, I've joined up as my other favourite pixel art forum shut down. My name is Iain, I'm 33 and live in the UK, and I've been making Perler bead art for about 2 years now. It will take a while to post all my work, so I might do it in stages :D

I hope you like, anyway here goes!

Thanks so much! Some are decorations for my games room, some have been gifts for friends, some commissions, and a lot of them are going to be for sale on my stall at a retro game market next month!

Thanks! I just use a free program called Perler from http://dolkow.se/. I've had to amend the palette over time, as a lot of the pre-loaded colours aren't quite right, but I've got it just about right now :D
