What is cosypixels and why buy from here?
CosyPixels is all about pixel art and inclusivity.
Everything is lovingly designed by hand, digitally illustrated, and printed in-house.
Every step of the process—crafting, cutting, laminating, designing, and packing—is done right here at home, by me! Even this website and all my socials are run solely by me.
I don’t have any fancy equipment (like a Cricut—though I dream of owning one someday!) and nothing is outsourced. CosyPixels is run on passion, a love for detail, and a DIY spirit from start to finish.
Who Is behind CosyPixels?
Hi! My name is Brandon, though I prefer to go by Brandy.
I’m a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, totally obsessed with pixel art, and passionate about creating inclusive, thoughtful designs.
I started CosyPixels after I had to take time off work in February 2025 due to ongoing mental and physical health concerns. I worked in preschools for over five years and really enjoyed teaching children. However, certain physical issues made that harder and harder to continue. When I started searching for at-home jobs, I applied to over 100 positions but, unfortunately, didn’t receive any responses.
During this period, I would often doodle in pixel art styles when I was stressed. By chance, I started creating pixel art animals, which inspired me to develop an inclusive Happy Families card game. I tried a few prototypes and absolutely loved the process! Although the game is still a work in progress, that’s what sparked the beginning of CosyPixels.
I’m a parent to two beautiful kids and the partner of my gorgeous girlfriend. We share our home with a very spoiled little cat named Miles (Morales).
