N64 Colouring Pad
Earlier this month I took part in "Raw Meat presents Loading" in London, an art show celebrating video games as well as raising money for the National Autistic Society. The event included a retro games tournament, games themed music, live drawing and live Street Fighter costumed wrestling from Lucha Britannia.
Here's my contribution, cut out of 1/4 inch thick board all hand drawn with posca paint markers:

Zelda/Lotus Gig Poster

Here's the recent gig poster i did for the band lotus. Apparently, they often play a rendition of the Zelda theme song at the end of their shows. So naturally they asked me to do a Zelda themed gig poster. This project had three notable milestones for me. Firstly, it's the biggest print I've ever made. Secondly, its the most printing I've ever done for a single project (200 prints x 3 colors, YIKES)! And lastly, every aspect of this project was done in house (as in, IN my house). I built an exposure unit, bought a power washer and built myself a dark room in my basement. Surprisingly everything worked out great and I'm very happy with the prints.
These prints will be on sale February 17th during their show at the Congress Theatre in Chicago, IL.

The Hyrulean Book of Biology
My humble offering to the Zelda tribute blog, Fill Up Your Hearts! Charley Harper was, and is, one of the greats. I can't begin to compare, but I'm sure he'd be fine with how much fun I had with this.

SUPER iam8bit - The Evolutionary Biology of Hyrule
Well it had been almost 3 years since LA-based production company iam8bit put on one of their legendary eponymous video game themed art shows, but it was worth the wait! SUPER iam8bit opened to the general public on August 11th at the recently renovated iam8bit headquarters located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
For my contribution to the show, I created Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (traslated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) a sprawling exploration of the evolutionary biology of the 200 most important species from the Legend of Zelda video game series. Complete with binomial Latin names (Zora Bellator and Zora Fluvialis share a common ancestor with the more peaceful species Zora Sapien, for example), the brances of the Deku tree trace the evolution of each species over millions of years. Forks in the branches indicate an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.
| Detail of some lifeforms from the cnidaria and ocularia phylums |
| Detail of some lifeforms from the Plantamalia phylum |
| Detail of some lifeforms from the Zora genus, the Blin genus, and some other amphibians and mammals |
| Detail of some lifeforms from the Primate order, as well as some other mammals |
| Detail of some lifeforms from the Draconem genus, the Dinosauria superorder, and the Aves class |
| All the species grouped by scientific binomials |
Magna Arbor Vitae Deku will be available in a very limited edition of 15 at the SUPER iam8bit opening (#1 will be framed in a cool one-of-a-kind distressed wooden frame).

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.

There Will Be Brawl
Recently my friend Matt Hepler introduced me to this wonderful miniseries called "There Will Be Brawl," featuring your favorite Super Mario Bros in a way you've never seen them before. This great project is spearheaded by Matthew Mercer and Zach Grafton. Head on over to EscapistMagazine.com to view all seven gritty episodes. I thought this would blend well with our current video game mania we've had this entire month.

Also, head on over to the "There Will Be Brawl" official website, where you can download awesome desktops like this one:
