8-bit calavera

i'm participating in an art show with the autumn society opening this week for dia de los muertos, where each artist paints/customizes a nintendo cartridge like a skull.  each of the 40 skull NES cartridges will be arranged together to create a bigger calavera design (as shown in the flyer below). i rushed through mine since i had very limited time, and i'm not completely thrilled with it..  but i still like it despite how chubby and goofy it looks.. while attempting to be pretty. then again i don't think i know how to dislike anything i do, whether i know it's bad or not. it's like having an ugly baby that you have no choice but to love.

atari monsterrrr!

the autumn society  participated in an exclusive video game gallery show with GAME-CORE CON. each artist painted on an original atari game cartridge, provided by the game-core con. cartridges were customized/painted by artists and given out as prizes at the show. i don't actually know much of anything about this event, but i painted and donated one for fun.

this is my monster atari! it didn't specify whether cartridge artwork should reflect video games, mine didn't, so i hope not! i hope whoever gets my monster loves him the way i do. i hope they treat him right, the way an atari monster should be treated.
