Pixology and its associated profession title pixologist is best described as "digital visionary" in the art of pixel based art.

Requirements
A pixologist is a fine artist with a very high visual IQ and a keen sense of creativity & extraordinary abilities in the visual arts. In general the pixologist is a master in the digital arts with years of experience working in the digital sandbox. A pixologist tends to lean toward the fine arts but has balanced that experience with years of professional work. Pixology usually combines a strong sense of off-beat creativity with the traditional values of fines art - including mixed media, performance art, photography, painting and strong drawing skills. A pixologist is an explorer and always "sees" the world and is always "looking" for unique moments and places. Always a risk taker for the sake of creativity a pixologist embraces technology while not forgetting the traditional media that came before.

Specialization
Many times a pixologist will take years of experimentation before the final artwork is released for public consumption. Pixology is not driven by impulse or quick over-used cliques. Pixology skills are highly developed over time and are generally beyond the reach of "software jockeys" that are all about technique and lacking a true sensibility of the art of imaging.

Pixologist work with original ideas and apply the principal of conceptual transformation. By taking an unique idea and applying a distinct concept the final outcome is an artistic transformation. By taking one thing and turning it into another the pixologist creates. The artwork is only complete when the pixologist decides or feels that the artwork is concluded. Pixology is as much about a seasoned artistic user of the digital toolbox as it is a governing philosophy. "life experience" plays a vast role in the complete artistic outcome.

When a pixologist creates artwork it can only be described as "pix-o-lish".
