A little history

In 1982 Doug Chezem got his hands on an Apple Lisa and in 1983 the first color desktop; the Seiko 9500.  He was bit by the Computer Graphics Bug.  [pun intended].

In 1987 Doug made the move to Digital from the traditional Airbrush, Paint and Colored Pencil.  But he wanted to keep the original Chezem Studio going with his traditional art, portraits, commissions, etc,.  So the Acme Pixel Factory was born.

I always loved the name “Acme Dot Company” from the Warner Bros. Roadrunner Cartoons; ACME Holes.  And, as I was an Airbrush artist since 1974, I was all about the ”Art of the Dot”.   (Airbrush lays down tiny dots of paint or dye).  The Digital Age introduced the ”Art of the Pixel”  (a Pixel is a single bit in a Bitmap Image, and a single dot on a CRT or Monitor).  And so I came up with the name “Acme Pixel” for the Industrial/Commercial art branch of the Chezem Studio.
