Minipops

by Craig Robinson

Welcome to the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, carefully constructed, pop-tastic, strangely addictive world of minipops from Craig Robinson's hit cult website, Flip Flop Flyin'. This is the definitive minipops collection: over 800 celebrities in all their pixellated glory. Any fan of popular culture will love poring through Robinson's ever-expanding army of miniature pixellated people (including international popstars, actors, comedians, and historical figures). Leaf through the pages and identify as many minipops as you can; should you get stuck, the answers appear in the back in Robinson's own inimitable, witty words.

Cite little digital art book of pop culture...

I got this book, mostly, to support the author. The original idea, from the author's website, enthralled: micro-pixelated portraits of the great and the good. But while it worked so well as a website, it doesn't really translate as a book. Books with pictures and only pictures work best when they can tell a story, when they are luxurious and glossy. None of that applies here. I'd happily buy the book again, but I couldn't recommend it.

The name explains the book completely. Doesn't sound so compellig? I was surprised by how much I enjoyed paging through and figuring out who everyone was.

Endless fun supplied by ample imagination. The descriptions in the back are as enjoyable as the Minipops themselves.

It's a cute idea, and well executed, but I got tired of the gimmick pretty early on.

Too many small groups of people lined up in similar yet not terribly distinctive clothing.
