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 Legend of Zelda


Here is my contribution to the Fill Up Your Hearts blog. My parents gave my older brother a Nintendo for Christmas of '86 (i think) and from then on we were hooked. We only had a few games starting out and this was one of them and it's still one of my favorite games.

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.

Blue is Always Stronger


Here's my piece for the 8-Bit Champions show at La Flaq Gallery in Paris. It's titled "Blue is Always Stronger" as a reference to the 8-bit Legend of Zelda games where the blue version of the enemy always dealt out, and could withstand, more damage to Link.

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 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
