that one of the rollercoaster is UNREAL level amazing. even his first one, the ram or buck or whatever, is incredible. the level of detail is just mind blowing. he sort of casually mentions that he'll spend years working on one, and i believe it.

also, i love that the one he's excited about now is called "space highway", which sounds exactly like something any youngin pixel artist would do hahah

Depends. You could have an ugly-looking 320x300 version of the Pieta, or an HD 3000x2000 pic and it would make a difference.

But you're talking about a digital recreation of real-life art. Replace art in my post with digital art. I guess that makes more sense.

Saw this yesterday on the verge. Showed his art to some coworkers. Their response "kinda pixelated though". They would be the best trolls if they were actually trolling.

Well it's so totally true. The external image of art is minimal to what is actually accomplished. Perfect example: I've had way more fun playing Earthworm Jim the last few days than I've ever had playing Call of Duty or whatever. You could say that it's like comparing apples to oranges, but quality is quality. Abbey Road is just as high quality today as it was back then. What really dissappoints me is that I don't really think that anyone would disagree with that, simply they are trained to believe that in order for something to be 'good' it must be directed by Michael Bay. People just don't think enough. But I guess that's really just the overall problem with everything and now I'm just ranting.

Sum the video up for you:
Pixel Art: Cool.
97 year old people: Way Cool.
Blind People: Pretty Dang Cool.
A blind 97 year old making pixel art? Miles Davis Cool.
