It’s-a-Me, Mario!
April 16, 2009 13 Comments
Take dozens upon dozens of elements from the Super Mario Bros. universe, add a large screen with a nearby stockpile of acrylic paint, subtract two very long, dedicated years, and what do you get? One absolutely amazing Mario-themed painting. Created by Sprite Stitch user leeka, this beautifully detailed piece of art was composed using pictures from magazines and paused video game footage as visual references. Enlarge the image and see how many characters and items you can recognize! If your Italian plumber knowledge maxes out before you hit 40, I hereby sentence you to a life of your princess forever being in another castle. That’s pretty much qualifies as purgatory. Just ask Mario.

This guy REALLY likes Mario. A lot.
yeah, he should play some halo sometimes.. lol, i think i can only recornize like 15 anyway.. lol :)

It’s the helpful dog from Yoshi’s story.
That portly fellow sure brings back memories of that Yoshi game. Yoshi’s Island was it? Good stuff.

I have never played Mario.
visiting a gaming blog is like owning a car dealership and never have driven a car. how could you have never played a mario game? i dont even think that is possible.

Never played a Mario title? Surely you jest!
Ahem.
Wat.
i really need another hobbie, i can name almost all of them (and place the rest). but one that caught my eye was the dizzy cotton ball from Yoshi’s island. that level was so annoying. i still remember the sound it made when you hit one of them.
at like 2:40
Wow, 2 years with paint. Is it just me or does this just look like a sticker sheet you would find at a Target?
Come to think of it, just take a bunch of game themed stickers, put them on a painted canvas, and varnish over them…Game Room Artwork for cheap.
It’s me…Leeka…..
