Art Juice: Iwata's Nub Love

11:30 AM on 09.13.2011   |   Jim Sterling

Art Juice: Iwata's Nub Love  photo

On this week's edition of Art Juice, which is a real thing now, I turn my illustrative talents toward the "Nubageddon" controversy, with this chillingly satirical piece that I think speaks to us all. It's called Iwata's Nub Love, and original prints are available to purchase for $129.99.

In this unrelenting image, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata appeals to his wife in a world where his hands have become 3DS Nubs. I'm sure you can all appreciate the strong social message that this picture conveys, and the deep analysis of the industry on offer. 

Of course, those who aren't interested in the deeper meaning of art can just enjoy the rich color contrast and flourishing textures that I like to bring to each one of my original works. You're very welcome!

Does this mean that you're leaving game journalism to pursue a career as an artist? I always imagined you leaving gaming for science.

Out of curiosity, is this what you were talking about on Twitter when you said, after telling him about a new feature idea, Nick Chester called you a monster?

The main problem I see is that in reality he only has one arm-nub and the other is a prosthetic nub-hand.

I hope Art Juice becomes a weekly column because, and I hope Jim makes high quality prints at the actual prices advertised, and I hope people buy them so Jim can bathe in money and fancy cheeses.

On another note,

@Dhaos

Trademark that.

Jim, you forgot to link your site to purchase it. I must know, do you accept paypal?

Do your have a gallery showing in the works? I imagine New York would be a great opportunity to get your work out there in the art scene.
