in your code, you are only drawing pacman when a key is pressed down. so naturally when no key is pressed, then pacman is not drawn. I suggest that at the end of your loop or something, draw pac-man once, but make sure to remember which way he is facing.

btw, do try and use View.Update, I was getting a headache watching the thing flickering.
