8-Bit Champs: Pac-Man
"Dinner Bell at the Bottom of the Food Pyramid"
Here is my full submission to an 8-Bit Video games themed show in PARIS, FRANCE at FLAQ Gallery. This is the first international viewing of my artwork, and I'm really excited.
I made an image themed on PAC_MAN which explains the recent rash of PAC MAN here on the blog. I also tried to change up the type of image I was making. I'm pretty happy with the outcome and see myself making more 8-bit tribute images in the future just for my own entertainment.
Sadly, it wasn't on display for opening night due to some problem with postal papers and foreign Customs... DANG...
However on a happier note, I'm told that the work will be added to the show in when it clears customs... HELL YES!.
I'd like to end by thanking Thomas and Joe in coordination with the Autumn Society for making this event happen and for letting me be involved.. MERCI, and THANK YOU!
As always I hope you dig.

Ninja Gaiden
Hi Autumn Society, my name is Campbell Whyte and this is my Ninja Gaiden for the 8-Bit Champions.
The framing was done by a fantastic local guy who I went to for my last show. He made some amazing colour and shape recommendations, which I think have really brought the illustration to life. If you like this check out my other 8-bit series, 8 Bit Dreams.

Ghosts N Goblins!
Alex Leighton (xander13.com) / acryclic on wood
I was super excited to be involved in the '8-Bit Champions' show, not only because it's in Paris but also because I chose one of my all time favourite games from my childhood! I didn't have a lot of time to work on it due to work being pretty crazy recently but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out...

The Descendant of Edrick.
Hey fellow gamers/drawers/nerdy-types: here's my submission for the 8-Bit Champs show!
The game I chose was Dragon Quest, or, if you grew up here, Warrior, which was literally my first foray into the realm of RPG's. It was also the first video game I got that wasn't Super Mario Bros., which came bundled with my NES console. And as a bonus, I got it for free with my subscription to Nintendo Power, a subscription which I almost wholeheartedly blame for my current, adult addiction to reading endlessly about videogames.

Go Samus, Go!
New Metroid piece that will be featured in Geekart.net's show, "8-Bit Champions" in Paris, France.
backstory:
Metroid holds a bit of a special place for me. I distinctly remember sitting in my basement as a kid, and watching my older brother play it (majority of original NES games are memories of watching him play it before I actually got my hands on experiencing the game for myself). Right after he'd just beaten the last level, Metroid reveals in the ending that --(ZOMG SPOILER?!?) Samus is actually a female under all that androgynous space-suit looking armor. That really got me, mainly because all of the games I'd been playing up until that point always starred a male character (Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Mega Man etc.). And this female heroine was extremely awesome!
I tweaked Samus's armor some because it was looking a bit outdated (according to the original NES covers and manual booklets that came with the game).

8 Bit Champions
Here's my piece for the upcoming 8-Bit Champions show in Paris, France. My first international show!
I've been playing a lot of Zelda lately as I unwind in the evenings, so it was the game I chose to illustrate. For more info about this piece you can check out my post about it here.
