# Hi, for my first topic I’m sharing what I have been up to today.

I spent a bit of time today making a weird tool to “pixelate” images, for now it as a bunch of is statements with preset brush sizes, but I intend change that so pixel size and spacing to be controlled more precisely and independently of one another.

##### After that I may start thinking of adding more shapes ( triangles , circles ) instead of just squares.
