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:

3. I Am 8-Bit 2008

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!

Next up: TRIBUTE TO GYGAX show

Wow, those are awesome! The combination of the low-tech medium (my grandfather used to make stuff like that, looong ago) and the modern digital content is way-cool.

holy mole, these are fantastic Gabe!!!
How much are they going to be?

damon said, on 8/12/2008 3:38:00 PM

i love how you can see the grain of the wood through the paint

adds a nice texture to it

rely nice cant wait to see them at the show

Dee C.K. said, on 8/12/2008 3:52:00 PM

Awesome Gabe! Those turned out really good! Isn't it great to work with wood! Grrr....hehee...See u at the show! ;)

Savage said, on 8/12/2008 8:33:00 PM

So very cool and quite a creative idea. I look forward to seeing these

When I made my Pinewood Derby Car for cubbie scouts all I used was sandpaper and my car looked a lot like the original block of wood only it went slower down the track. Wish I'd had some help with it...

Mom said, on 8/12/2008 9:12:00 PM

WOW!!! These are really cool, Gabe! What a great idea!!! All those Pine Wood Derby cars sure paid off!!!
Great job!!!!

Bauza & Danner should star in the live action reboot!

Lamar The Revenger said, on 8/13/2008 3:27:00 AM

very nice! next thing you know you'll be making those for trailer park yards all over the country.. I'd have one in front of our trailer! think of it a fight scene from Mario Bros. what Bowser would be 6 or 7 foot tall? you'd need a building permit for that!

---PRETTY DAMN KOOL..! I LIKE HOW YOU LEFT THE ACTUAL WOOD TO BE THE SKIN TONE...

Dude, these are freakin awesome!!

*daisy said, on 8/15/2008 5:01:00 AM

such great pieces!! So good seeing you at the show tonight- your stuff looked amazing! : D I loved seeing all of them in person- i think the Link is my favorite (prob due to my affinity for the Zelda franchise), but the Mario and Luigi are so great too!!

Alan said, on 8/15/2008 1:50:00 PM

DANG!!!! Great concept and execution Gabe.

Gabe Swarr said, on 8/18/2008 11:57:00 AM

Thanks everyone! The show was a huge success. The place was so loud and stuffed with people that if I missed you I'm sorry! It was a-crazy...

Would you guys like to see other characters like this as well?

Maybe next year I'll do the same thing but bigger...

Brad said, on 9/3/2008 11:52:00 PM
