Samus Aran Mural Made From Game Cartridges

November 30, 2011 / art is dead, cartriges, characters, console, different strokes for different folks, ebay, for sale, i've seen it all now, inb4 i'd blow on her cartridges, it's on ebaaaaaaaaaaaay, metroid, nintendo, painting things you shouldn't, perfect for the person on your list that has everything but you don't really like, samus, sure why not, you got ripped off, you paid for that?

This is a "life-size" (~5'8" if she were standing upright) mural of Samus Aran made from painted Nintendo game cartridges from different systems. It was originally commissioned by used-game retailer JJGames, but now they're selling it on eBay. Presumably because they realized it looks like shit. Kidding, I'm just saying that to keep bidding down. Or am I? You and I both know this sucks.

Hit the jump for some closeups and a link to the auction.

Thanks to Wilmersama, who agrees they should have made her out of Wii disks.

    February 9, 2011
    This guy got six Pokéball tattoos down his arm and the area beneath each stuffed with a subdermal implant to make them all appear 3-D. Not really sure what else to say, except rubbing elbows with him would almost certainly make me queasy. Not unlike eating a can of cat food ... / Continue →

    Even with as many cartridges they used, I don't think that's 150 lbs. I saw the auction at $11 and thought, "Not too bad." Then I noticed they're charging $187.14 for shipping. Particle board and 2x4s for backing, I bet the actual shipping cost is $60-80 and they're looking pocket the rest without eBay dipping into the cost.

    Yay for wasting games to make a POS?

  • All those poor, poor game cartridges. I hope they're all copies of crappy games.
