8-Bit Mario and Luigi Ornaments!

Continuing my 8-bit trend, I made these two 8-bit Mario and Luigi ornaments for AIGA's 2010 Art of Ornament silent auction benefit for Habitat for Humanity.

Clevelanders, these could be yours to take home! Come out this Friday, December 3rd to the first floor gallery of Twist Creative to support a good cause!

(I will update with higher res pictures and the price they sold for this weekend.)

Halloween Costume 2010: I am 8-Bit.

So, for Halloween this year, I thought it would be funny to create a huge version of my own head and wear it. Then I realized I had absolutely no idea how to do that. So instead, I decided to experiment and continue with my ongoing obsession with everything 8-Bit.

It's made out of: Insulation foam, joint compound, a cardboard box, glue, some gesso spray and acrylic paint. Pretty amateur stuff actually, and a really fun project. Took me about 2-3 weeks to finish. The tie was bought from ThinkGeek.com, and was a great finishing piece.

A ton more pictures after the jump!
