Description
This is something I did for a digital imaging class. We were assigned to romanticize a childhood memory by turning it into a more detailed narrative. Unfortunately I have no memories. Of anything. In fact I would be lucky to remember if I ate breakfast this morning. However I do know that I enjoy video games and grew up with Nintendo and Mario, which introduced me to a world I never thought possible. Yes, that is the world of sitting on my ass all day, bringing me closer and closer to failing grades and a brain tumor.Aside from that, though, I had fun. Nowadays we have all these high tech games with physics and advanced AI that require you to have a Ph.D in quantum mechanics to know how the hell to play, and have characters so realistic they can jump out of the screen to choke slam you into your coffee table and maybe even give you a soothing massage right after. This is nice and all - I mean who doesn't like a good back rub? But sometimes you just say to yourself, "Enough with the bullshit, time for some good old fashioned turtle stomping."
And mushrooms. Gotta love the shrooms.

I think you made your point in your description with the simplicity of this piece. I really like the use of space. ^-^

>W< mario was the first game i played as a kid!!! on video games that is, not computer games. such a cheerful time back then... now except for death in the family a couple years later... but seriously, getting to briefly exist in a world very different from our own is just much more fun... damn, maybe i SHOULD major in game design... TT_TT
but yah, i definately got a thing for mario games >_< i played that same first game recently, like 2 months ago, i finished in two hours. it was sort of depressing...

It would be great to see this as a poster, but since it contains Mario motifs that are copyrighted by Nintendo I can't commercially distribute it. Not legally anyway. Don't want to offend the big N. But there's nothing stopping me from having it printed for myself and hanging it on my wall.
