Sep 2 2008I Am 8-Bit Art Exhibit: Works For Sale
There's an art exhibit running in Hollywood until September 7th entitled "I Am 8-Bit" that features a bunch of old school gaming inspired art. If you're in the area you might want to check it out at: Wonder Storefront Gallery, 6650 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA. But if you can't make it, all the pieces are available for sale online. The originals are fetching over a grand, but there are a couple prints (including a wicked Link/Gannon) for $100. Hit the jump to see some of my favorites, along with a link to both the show gallery and print sale page. Let's face it, there just isn't anything cooler than 8-bit gaming art. Well, besides 4-bit gaming art. ZOMG I'm so oldschool!
Hit it.

That is really awesome artwork, i really want that Duck Hunt Head Mount trophy in my living room, it would look great with my Centipede wall mount and my Kid Icarus Bow and Arrow kit.

It's cool but the gallery hours suck and hipsters who think Nintendo is a new clothing line get in the way.

It's an honor to share the same internet with the people who made these.

Cool pieces; the NES/SNES era is still where my gaming heart resides (as if one couldn't already tell by my moniker/URL). It's times like this that I wish I had the extra cash (and less responsibilities) to leave my bullshit home state for a week, every now and then.
Hey, GW, you might appreciate some of the "8-bit art" that I do. Yeah...I have little shame.

well i have to agree with you dadoren, its sad to see these generations talking about how cool thier new age graphics are and stuff...I will always love the side scrolling 2D that made my afternoons so perfect especially after watching Dino the Last Dinosaur and Duck Tales
