Somebody Set Us Up the Art
A show of original, non-digital art based on 8-bit video games has just opened at Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight in Los Angeles. The main site requires Flash; the gallery, with 17 images of art from the show, doesn’t. (Via Dennis; The sculpture Pac-Man, pictured, is by Peter Gronquist.)
We must admit that Adam Cadre was there first, with a painting based on Joust. Although we must also admit (as Adam does) that he ripped the idea off from Matthew Bowman.

Adam’s site doesn’t seem appreciative of the direct link to an image.

As a nitpick, the Zero Wing phrase is “Somebody set up us the…” (“up” and “us” reversed from the normal order).

Man. As penance, I’ve taken off every zig.
