What if the weather forecast was rendered by an old-school video game?
Michigan-based artist Garth Glazier answers that question beautifully in his ongoing series, Pixel Weather.
By stacking blocky, geometric shapes, Glazier transforms dramatic clouds into pixel-like monuments, casting them over timeless American landscapes.
The magic lies in the contrast. Grounded, nostalgic scenes of red barns, quiet lakes, and silhouettes of trees sit beneath towering, low-res skies.
Look closely, and you’ll even spot surreal, dreamlike intrusions, from oversized coffee cups to giant cows floating among the pixels.
Glazier has also begun translating these screen-born, digital clouds into physical oil paintings, beautifully bridging the gap between retro-tech and classic canvas.
