Huge image gallery of “I Am 8 Bit” show

I know I have posted info on this show like 4 times now, so I hope this one will be my last. I-Mockery.com has around 6 pages full of images from the show. I was going to skip seeing the show this year, but after seeing these images, I have to see some of these works in person.
A few of them I really wish I could’ve bought.

Take a look I am 8 bit show opening

Here are some pieces I really want to see:

by the way, that James Jean piece is available as a print from his site. James Jean QBert print

Weekly Art Search #2

For this search I went and looked for some work that had to do with some of the movies that I ended up watching this weekend. Shaun of the Dead, Enter the Dragon, and some James Bond flicks. So all of the art of this weeks search, will have to do with these movies somehow.

“Bruce Lee Mosaic” by Mosaika Art

New works from Kris Kuksi

Kris Kuksi has posted two new works on his Deviantart page. He has some great detail shots as well. I have never seen one of his works in person, but I can imaging they are even more mind blowing than just the images of them are.

Head over to his homepage as well, the paintings he does in acrylic are quite amazing.

Video Game art

Ever since the new I am 8 Bit show started, I’ve really been into looking for cool video game inspired art. This could be since i’m getting older, and need to be reminded of my youth again. Or just because the art is amazing.

I found some really cool art, I tried to make sure that I found stuff that wasn’t in the new I am 8 Bit show, I might have though, since I haven’t really seen the new show.

“Nintendo” by Nurse-Stimpy
“Super Mario Bros” by Ted McClung
“Know your roots” by belldandies
“Bad Mushroom” by Brandon Reese
“Indifferent the Duck and the Sprite Sculptures” by Justin B. Evans :Senior thesis project. Huge!

And finally the 8BitArtist his whole gallery is inspired by video games.

Tank Girl has a new look, and I really like what Ashley Wood has done. Take a look at the orginal release on Ashley Wood’s blog Here.

There are two Chet Zar prints on auction right now. Both of these prints are the limited ones found on his website, that are now sold out. They are printed on “heavy stock, epson velvet art paper”. So instead of being 11″x14″, they are 13″x16″.

They both look great, and the price so far is very nice.

Gelaskins for the laptop

I haven’t been over to GelaSkins in a while, since I don’t own an Ipod, but they do have some really cool artists over there that I like to check out. I often have to talk myself out of buying an ipod just so I can get one of these skins.

Looks like they have skins for a laptop now as well. It all looks like mac only skins, but im sure some other laptops might work as well. As long as they have perfectly flat lids, no embossed logos or such.

I wouldn’t mind getting one of those Ralph Steadman skins for my laptop, oh wait, I have to buy a laptop now.
