This is all pretty rad, but i'm kinda confused about the drawing of Kirby on the second page where he's wearing a penis hat. :unsure:
The best one ever is the Little Mac vs. Soda Popinski one on page 4 or so. I'd pay so much money to hang that up in my house.

I commented about that to strizz earlier:

I'm fond of the Pac-Man hand grenades.

I just read the actual article associated with the pictures, and apparently James St. James was letting people in at the door. That's kinda interesting.
And yes, the Pac-Grenades are awesome. Definitely one of the best 3D pieces, along with the Donkey Kong statue that is exactly the kind of Donkey Kong statue i'd want. No tie, no spit-curl, barrel. Check.

I also like that Kyrgyzstanian arcade game about beating a dead goat. I can just imagine that in 3D for the Wii. Use the nunchuck to move and the wiimote to smack!

Because at your age, most stuff starts to creep you out? ;)

Some of it's probably meant to evoke that reaction.

Some of that is really cute. I only went 5 pages in though before losing interest.

Which do you think you hate more, classic video games or really impressive art?

I hate neither. I just like hentai alot more than either and looking at "I AM 8-bit" was holding me back from pursuing this medium.

Some of this art is just over the top strange/flamboyant. I like.
In my opinion, this is the oddest of the bunch-

Looks like an awsome show though. I need to look around and see if there's other video game inspired galleries/show, I'd love to attend one.
