I got this idea last week to create my own version of the Pink Ribbon in 8-bit form, for gamers to show their support in their own little way. I then had this crazy idea to make the design into an actual pin.

Well, not being a web designer nor having the time to create/learn a webpage led me to Blogger.comActually what led me here was a friend of mine and Diego's (my boyfriend of 5 years =P), Mauro. We were chatting with him about art and the topic of having our own webpage came up and he told
