Pixel Artist for Programmer

I'm looking to prototype a game I've been working on but progress is slow with just one man. I need a programming buddy to write up an engine in any language that your comfortable with while I focus on graphics. From a broad perspective the game is about a kid who gets stuck in a video game. Now think Scribblenauts, replace that notebook with a game controller and that's the mechanic I'm shooting for. I'm looking to develop it for Linux. The game has been in development for a month and a half so far.
