'Tiny Albums': Iconic Album Covers Turned Into Pixel Art


Four years ago, Swede Johan Karlgren's daughter Zelda began to create seed bead art by recreating the characters found in the Nintendo "Ice Hockey" 8-bit video game from '88 after she and her dad had played the game together.


However, Zelda quickly moved on to pursue other things, and instead her dad kept at it which has resulted in a full-time business that includes a growing fan base on social media, according to Swedish newspaper Göteborgs-Posten.


In one of Karlgren's latest project "Tiny Albums", he has transformed some of the most iconic and beloved album covers into pixel art.
