Uniqueness is a qualification of artiness as far as I'm concerned. Merely reproducing something is not art, it's direct reproduction. Introducing unique style would be art. This slight pixelation is insufficient to qualify as such.
I never called the pixelated version flippant. Rather, I called the treatment of the original flippant. Also, don't project a dislike of pixel art onto me.
