New SF Pixel Poster Will Feature Bearded Hipsters, Frank Chu

The digital art trio eBoy is known around the Internet for their painstakingly built, brightly-hued pixel posters of cities the world over, from New York to London to Tokyo. The group, who also run an influential graphic design shop, recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their work on a San Francisco poster. Now the artists, who are based in Vancouver and Berlin, have cleared their funding goal, so the project is a definite go. Between now and August, designers Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig, and Svend Smital will sculpt an elaborate, not-to-scale rendition of San Francisco full of landmarks (including Coit Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, and a mysteriously paint-splattered Transamerica Pyramid) that will unfold in a grid of 999,949 pixels. "We're building SF, but in a parallel universe," says Vermehr.
