I think when you glued down the pixels you could have taped down a straight edge to register each row of pixels when you glue them. It wouldn't take much longer, just use the first and last pixel from left to right to register your straight edge. Put some pressure on it squeezing on the set up pixels a little and then just tape down the framing square or whatever straight edge you use. After you glue down that row then just move the straight edge and repeat. That will help keep the horizontal lines of the picture pretty straight, vertical lines do not have to be as perfect because of how we see horizon lines. When looking straight ahead our eyes will see imperfections in horizontal lines better than vertical lines. If our eyes were stacked one above the other then...
