Recently, users on Reddit stumbled across postings of pixel art maps featuring the main Hawaiian islands. The map appears to be in the pixel art style reminiscent of early 90s computer graphics. The map is done in closely accurate scale, and we see some key features of Hawaiian geography highlighted in the artwork. The Big Island features the volcanic activity zones of Kilauea, Mauna Loa, and Hualālai. Maui also features a volcanic zone to depict Haleakalā. On O’ahu, we see a Mario style castle representing ‘Iolani Palace, and a star indicating the capital city Honolulu.
Lazare Viennot, known online as SirLazz, is a digital artist and game developer who created this pixel art cartography. Though he lives in Nantes, France he takes commissions to draw real places around the globe in the style of pixel art video games of the 90s, especially Super Mario Bros. His designs include several European countries and US states. The map of the main Hawaiian islands is his most recent work, available with and without the Hawaiian flag on the bottom left corner.
