Super Yakuza Bros.


While it does not surprise me to discover that Mario and Luigi are mobbed up, it wasn’t the Yakuza that I suspected. (Eduardo Vieira)

Artist Bruce Yan ties together some famous brand logos with some equally iconic pop culture characters and gets all up into your mind space. (Bruce Yan via Galley 1988)

Adventure Time: Mathematical, Mashupmatical


I am new to Adventure Time. It's a show that I continually saw referenced on my feeds and by artists I follow, but I'd never seen it until the past two weeks when I decided to see what everyone was so enamored by. Now Jake the Dog and Finn the Human are stuck in my head and I decided to look back at what I missed. Consider this a pop culture tribute to the Land of Ooo. Above:
Glob of Thrones by Dan Hipp. Finn wearing his Jake armor is a nice touch.

8-Bit Graveyard


The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand games
And grizzy video ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

(Augie Pagan for for Gallery 1988's Old School Video Game Art Show)

Throne Of Games


"Have you ever seen the Bit Throne? The joysticks along the back, the cables of twisted steel, the jagged ends of controllers and gameboys all tangled up and melted? It is not a comfortable seat ser. Mario cut himself so often men took to calling him King Koopa, and Wart the Cruel was murdered in that chair. By that chair, to hear some tell it. It is not a seat where a man can rest as ease. Ofttimes I wonder why Luigi wanted it so desperately".

An awesome description by redditor odinsprice of Aaron Jasinski's Throne of Games for Gallery 1988’s Old School Video Game Art show.

Khal Drogo as Mario? Yes, please! And fighting on the weirwood tree from the opening credits is a nice touch. (Alex Ryan for Draw2D2)

The Church Of The Mushroom Kingdom

Our Mario, who art in castles
hallowed be thy Name,
thy Mushroom Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
in castles as it is in warp zones.
Give us this day our daily 1-UP
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive Koopas
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into lava,
but deliver us from Bowser.
For thine is the Mushroom Kingdom,
and the power-ups, and the Starman,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

(Mushroom Kingdom by Ian Glaubinger)

The Excavation Of Mushroom Island


"What if there was physical proof that the Super Mario Bros mythology existed a long time ago on a lost chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean?" Quite honestly, that would be a terrifying find. Just look at that Goomba skeleton below! (Logan Zawacki - there are more - via Hey Oscar Wilde)

Only an hour and a half to pick up Ian Leino's latest shirt at TeeFury. Would have alerted earlier, but I was off the grid (mostly).
