That looks like a ton of fun. I wish I knew, I would have went.

That looked awesome! I especially liked the piece about that old soviet era game. Who knows what other games they may have made that have gone extinct. Thanks for another great pics-o-rama!

Thanks for the pictures...amzing stuff. My favourite has to be the Earth Worm Jim paintings ...also Mario ala Soviet Lenin style was quite awesome.

Rog, the guy who let you in (James St. James) was one of the original club kids and knew Michael Alig, the guy that was involved in the murder of Andre “Angel” Melendez. James wrote a book about it called “Disco Bloodbath” that became the movie “Party Monster”. In the movie Alig was played by Macaulay Culkin and James was played by Seth Green.

I'm not much of a video gamer these days but I know what I like in a game. I have seen and played a lot of the games that this art was based on, especially the Zelda ones. Those were my favorite art pieces because those are the games my twin brother and I spent a lot of time beating. Also the Mario art was good, I suppose I'm a Nintendo fanboy. But not as big as some other people I know who own every Nintendo game ever.

Mmmh, delicious kitsch. One day we'll look back on those pictures and say "What were we thinking?" Kinda like people do these days when they see 80's interior designs.

Awww... The Ghouls N' Ghosts / Ghosts N' Goblins one was cute and made me smile.

I love old games. Great pics. The one of Samus in her helmet was really cool. Hot women in underwear playing video games is every man's fantasy..

poppers620 Aug 18th, 2008 02:58 PM

damn i forgot you were going to this, wish i had gone it looks great!

captain516 Aug 18th, 2008 04:10 PM

Cool stuff. Most of the Mario ones were creepy as hell, and I liked those Street Fighter peices at the end.

Duct Tape Ninja Aug 18th, 2008 06:20 PM

Man this brings back some memories.
(I think I had that Blanka figure in one of those paintings.)

Purple Man Aug 18th, 2008 11:21 PM

Those little illustrations of games like Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Burger Time etc are downright awesome. No wonder many of them seem to be "red-dotted". I'd go for the Moon Patrol one myself.

darkvare Aug 19th, 2008 12:47 AM

is one of the artists the one from el tigre

Copper Aug 19th, 2008 02:18 AM

Man, some of that art scared me *laughs* I found a few pieces I liked, though there were some from games I didn't recognize, so I'm sure that took away from some of the impact of the piece.

This might've been something answered before, but I'm guessing these pieces are also for sale? Any info on what things like those go for? (I'm presuming that's what the red dot means...sold.)

greenimp Aug 19th, 2008 03:27 AM

or maybe the red dot is the equivalent of the pirates black dot and soon the 8-bit mafia will come around and "take care" of the offending artwork... of such mysteries is the world made

I'll go and run wearing only briefs tonight to see if that can attract zombies.

Nick Aug 19th, 2008 06:34 PM

I'm still trying to figure out the Dildo-headed Kirby picture.

Ant10708 Aug 25th, 2008 06:12 AM

I thought the cock on Kirby's head was pretty obvious; He sucked a cock....

Whatever Kirby sucks in he usually gains a hat resembling what he sucked in.

I wantthat Castlevania painting with Simon fighting Death. It would make any room instantly more awesome.
