About

My name is Tyson Mangelsdorf and I started Pixelgarden in 1999 when I made the move to full-time freelance illustration. It’s been a solo act all these years and kept me busy and inspired with many wonderful clients and lots of engaging projects.

Pixelgarden Studios has always been focused on illustration and how it works to tell brand stories. We’ve created original artwork for established brands, so anything we make fits seamlessly into the current library. We’ve defined custom illustration styles for specialized projects and for clients who are in the process of defining their brand. We’ve produced artwork that works for specific media formats—including print, motion, interactive, and environmental spaces.

Through it all, we embrace every project with optimism and absolutely love partnering with clients to help them get where they need to go.

DESIGN + ANIMATION
Sometimes the lines between art, animation, and design can blur, and I’ve always been happy to jump in and help on projects however I can. So if you want to see more of my design and animation works—along with how my illustration has been incorporated into various projects, you can check out my site at tysonm.com.
