Often mathematical illustration boils down to drawing digital images, which itself is ultimately setting colors of individual pixels. I'm going to share escapades in the context of this reductionistic perspective. We'll discuss how the particular color choice for a pixel can have big effects, how much image sizes limit us, and weirder questions like choosing pixel shapes. Technology really wants pixels to be Gaussian integers!
