NES Super Mario Bros. Box Art


It's a me. A Mario. I did this piece to submit to the great blog called Palette-Swap, a site run by Rusty Shackles, who invites people to submit their interpretations of old video game packaging. Now I'm a child of the '80s who grew up in the warm glow of Mother Nintendo, and Super Mario was a fave. This is one of a series I plan to do featuring the old "black" boxes from back in the day, here's the original inspiration for this piece. Keep your eyes peeled for Ice Climber next.

DK Redux


I wanted to redo the quickly conceived piece posted before. I dig this version better.

I turned this piece into a t-shirt for Mr. Mr. How? Magic... and iron-on sheets.

Bad Monkey


I think Pauline is way hotter than Princess Toadstool and Mario passed up a good thing. But I guess shacking up with royalty ain't bad either. In any case, Mario digs him some damsel in distress.

I might rework this piece. DK's pose is buggin' me.

Jumpman!


Mario was first referred to as "Jumpman". From the Mario wikipedia page:
The character first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong as a carpenter named "Jumpman", more commonly called "Mr. Video Game" in Japan. During localization of the game for American audiences, Nintendo's warehouse landlord Mario Segale confronted Nintendo's Minoru Arakawa, demanding back rent. Following a heated argument in which the Nintendo employees eventually convinced Segale he would be paid, they opted to name the character in the game Mario after him.

Mama Mia! You pay-a the rent! Jumpman went on to be the most well-known character in video game history. My original Mario post still seems to get a lot of hits, so you might be seeing him popping up here and there this month.

1Up



A new Mario for you. I bet you can guess where the inspiration came from. That Mario, he's a fiend for the ol' 1Up mushroom.
