I'm super proud to announce that I'm one of the three Iam8bit artists selected to "perform" at the Nintendo DS1 Launch Event. It's this Saturday (April 4th) at Universal City Walk 9PM to 1AM.
To celebrate the newest Nintendo System, a lucky few (maybe even you) will receive a free poster...
...and to make it extra cool, I won't be just signing them, I'll actually drawing you people into the poster! So, make sure you wear your best outfit to be immortalized!
Here's the exclusive shirt and stickers as well that will only be available Saturday!
I feel super honored to be a part of this, and hope all of you can come and have fun! Hope to see ya there!

Scott Campbell has been drawing up a storm lately, which is great news for fans of his mouth-watering imperfect linework, like myself. You owe it to yourself to subscribe to his blog, and you’ll be kept up-to-date with things like these cool cut-and-stand-up pieces for the I Am 8-Bit show:
Or a slew of old-timey pieces from the recent Great Great Grandshow currently on at Nucleus Gallery:
And most recently, some super fun movie showdowns for the Crazy 4 Cult show for which he also created the poster:

Here's my pieces for this year's I Am 8-Bit art show this Thursday!
Wooden Mario:
(Acrylic on wood)Yes, I did all the cutting, carving, sanding and screwing together all of these pieces. It was super time consuming, but totally worth it.
Wooden Luigi:
(Acrylic on wood)
Oh, and they are kinda big. Luigi is almost 4' tall.
Wooden Link:
4" x 6"
(Acrylic on wood)
The fun part of Link was carving out the shield and sword.
All of this woodworking actually reminded me of making Pinewood Derby Cars for Cub Scouts with my Dad. We would spend weeks in the soggy basement with a radial saw, jigsaw, a scale and sandpaper. That was fun and almost won best of show too!
