Bizarre But Awesome: Hexquisite Corpse Collab

Over 91 members of pixel art community Way of the Pixel worked in concert to create this hallucinatory piece. Each artist staked their claim on a tile from the hex grid, using a 16-color limit and outlines from adjacent grids to guide their own contributions -- because of how the project was structured, the participants didn't even see each other's completed work until the entire field was published.

As a result, you'll see a nest of birds next to a mechanical hand with a chainsaw, a plate of spaghetti turning into a head of hair belonging to a topless girl, and other odd juxtapositions. You can see the full piece below, but you should really head to the forum to see a much bigger version. I've also included a poster version that one artist printed out.
