Art Attack Friday: Fort Awesome photo

Some of you will recognize this Mario vs. Bowser piece from the I Am 8 Bit exhibiton. It was created by cyberhadji and he is this week's artist for Art Attack Friday. cyberhadji has several cute and adorable pieces from the Mario world and a few other games such as Katamari Damacy and Pikmin in his collection. Don't let the cute stuff fool you though, as cyberhadji can make some pretty realistic pieces as you can tell by the Chocobo piece. 

cyberhadji has all that you see here for sale on his Etsy store. And yes, he prints some of his pieces on old text book pages. Apparently, that's being artistic in some way. Go figure. There are a few other pieces of his on his own site worth checking out too. 

[Much thanks to Chris Furniss of the Weekly Geek.]

...Damn, I'm jealous.

I both love and hate these Art Attack Fridays. I love seeing awesome artists, and I hate seeing how much better than me they are. :-P

I'll get there... I'll get there...

Once Fort Awesome is garrisoned by American troops, the war in Iraq will be over.

I like how we all see a chocobo and immediately think "Colette!"

I like the Mario/Bowser one. The rest are a bit meh. Nothing stands out to me really. Don't get me wrong this guy is a fucking awesome artist, but I feel he's wasting his talents on duplicating other things. He should be re-inventing, which brings me back to the Mario/Bowser pic.

All of these are fucking win. And that chocobo... I mean, that is just spot on. It's as if he's worked for Squeenix before and did their chocobo illustrations

Made an account so I could let eveyrone know: Fort Awesome is the name of Mr. James' house in the greatest sitcom of the 90s, NewsRadio. James James: the man so nice, they named him twice.
