Tonight is the night that the latest “I am 8 Bit” show opens up. This time the show is at the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery. I took a look at the site, but no work there yet and not sure where they are going to put it.
There is a killer list of artists in the show, some great new ones and one that are veterans of the 8 bit art show. Here is the lineup: Joe Ledbetter, Scott C., Jim Mahfood, Ashley Wood, Amanda Visell, Jose Emroca Flores, Luke Chueh, Bigfoot, Yoskay Yamamoto, Kofie One, Angry Woebots, Gerald de Jesus, Tessar Lo, Gabe Swarr, Jorge R. Gutierrez, Carlos Ramos, Joe Vaux, Joe Shea, Benjamin Marra, Deseo, Mr. Jago, Jude Buffum, Michelle Valigura, Suckadelic, DGPH, Jim Stoten, Tanner Goldbeck, Scott Belcastro, Tony Mora, Nate Frizzell, Elizabeth Ito, ZOSO, The Chung, Ray Frenden, and David Goldberg.
There are already some pics from the show circulating around, and the work by Scott Belcastro (shown) has to be my favorite so far. The colors and layout and amazing, and it really fits the whole Legend of Zelda theme perfectly, kind of like Scott should have always been the designer for the game. I heard there will be prints of these as well, at least I really hope so.

Ashley Wood’s latest figure is now ready for pre-order over on his site. The figure is 12″ tall and is yours for the price of $130, which also ships to you no matter where you are in the world, free.
I like the Bertie toys that he has released but this figure, along with being more affordable, looks pretty cool. It ships at the end of August, but no reason to wait. Head on over to his Bambaland Store and check it out. Bambalandstore.com

The very first collectible toy by Ashley Wood is now available. WWR “Bertie” comes in two different versions, Desert Rat Bertie and Dirty Deeds Bertie. The latter is my favorite, the color is a little more my style.
The first 40 orders for each toy comes with a limited edition signed giclee print (shown). I like the print a lot, I wish this was offered on it’s own. I don’t collect many toys, but I am a big fan of prints. Anyway, both versions of the toys are ready to order so head on over if you want to grab one, or just check em out.
