As a child of seven, Sebastian Burdon, Polish-born creator first explored digital imagery on an Atari 130 XE, crafting pictures one pixel at a time through a basic text program—an early expression of what would later be known as pixel art. In 2006, he moved to London, where he spent years supporting numerous UK artists, contributing to their projects while absorbing guidance and sharpening his own techniques. These experiences laid the groundwork for his eventual transition into an independent career as a professional artist.

"Gone..." series is a collection of fine art prints representing shadowy blurry silhouettes of characters from our faded memories, our childhood heroes and idols. Characters who we loved dearly, who at our very young age influenced our lives. Nowadays they are less relevant in our day to day lives. Some are almost no existent. Yet, we can still remember them as a part of our upbringing, however, the faded memories are.

Often too blurry that we have trouble remembering their actual colors and shapes. The characters in the prints are reaching out to us, hence the extended hand stuck to the face of the canvas, to remind us about their presence. Are they saying "Good Bye" while fading from our memories as we focus our attention elsewhere in adult lives? Or are they saying "We are still here, don't forget about us..." as they fade into the pure brightness of the limbo of our minds? It is You, the viewer, who decides on your own personal message from the childhood idols.
