Mario and a friend...

Here is your Mario and Princess art for the day, by Bjc!

Flying Mario!

Prosodi decided to grace us with a flying squirrel suited Mario. At least I think it's a squirrel. Raccoon? I'm sorry, I only played Mario up until the first Super Mario Bros! Somebody help!

Another Mario...

Here's a quick heroic Mario I sketched. I might try a more cartoon version later this week though....

It'suh him, Mario.

Here is Ben's Mario before being broken up into blocks...

More Mario...

This is Ben Chamberlain's post-modern take on Mario, showing us how technology and video games in particular have taken us down a slippery slope of bitterness and angst, into a den of loneliness and despair, where we care not for our fellow man, nor what will happen to society in the years to come....well, that's what I got from it. What do you think?

First Mario!

Devin Blake whipped up this angry Mario while on vacation at Disney World, and says that she used a "ballpoint pen and shaded with pencil and Copic Markers", and took a picture of it with her phone. Cool, no?

This weeks theme!

Okay, this week I figured we would go in a completely different direction, although it's still a very famous and popular character. We will be trying our hand at the overall-wearing, never actually doing any plumbing plumber, Mario! Yes, the Mario from the Nintendo video games. Well, there you have it, and I can't wait to see the different version of that little Italian high jumper. Get to it!
