Recently, I was on the ZABAL Gamez livestream (/zao) with @zaal, where I announced the launch of the brand-new Bizarre Pixel Studio! 👾

This is a full-featured pixel art & animation editor running on desktop, mobile, @farcaster as a miniapp, and the Base app. You can also add the app to your phone's home screen. 📲

Underneath the artwork is a system where every single pixel on the canvas is mapped to a character of plain text. • Paint on the canvas -> the text code writes itself. • Edit the text code -> the canvas instantly repaints. This makes your animations ultra-lightweight, portable, shareable, and highly flexible for use in games, artwork, and other media.

🏆 BIZARRE SUMMER CONTEST IS LIVE: We are kicking off our first community contest of the BIZARRE Summer 2026 on the BizarreBeasts miniapp. (This is the first of 5 contests headed your way)

Paint your own pixel BizarreBeast using the new studio, head over to the contests tab on the BizarreBeasts ($BB) Miniapp, and submit your work. Community voting decides the winner, and 1st place takes home $20 USDC! 💸

Try the editor, watch the ZABAL workshop, and join the BIZARRE fun and share your pixel creations! 👇
