What are the little pixel people that Yahoo is using...
 

... to promote their music site??

I remember some website, that I read a blurb about in either Spin or EW, had a lot of these little guys. Anyone have a link?
Examples:

Any info would be most helpful

What do you mean "what are they"?

There is some webpage that created these little pixelated White Stripes or Beatles pics that they got these from. I was wondering if there was a name for them, so I could find the original site.

Are you thinking of the Polyphonic Spree? www.questfortherest.com

It's not quite the same the people in your image, but that's the only thing I can think of.

They're called "minipops" - shorthand representations of bands and artists(and other celebrities) using only a few pixels - and were first created by Craig Robinson at his website www.flipflopflyin.com.

THANK YOU - i knew it would be only a matter of time before the case was broken
