Buttons

While I was reading an article on Soblow Xaselgio’s website about a completely different topic (yes, I plan to get back to the comments project at some point) I happened to notice her page on the topic of the well-known/button schema.

This is mostly evident in simpler static websites, but things like Webrings and button links are coming back as well. I decided to get in on the action by making my own (crappy) little link button for this site. I made it pixel by pixel in Aseprite, which was a fun process. No outside fonts or anything, it’s all from my own silly brain.
