Exactly! It's freaking Rokkaku Dai Heights!
Also, I'd totally come up with two or three bills for the Megaton, but $1050? Not really. Sometimes it's no surprise why artists are starving. Don't get me wrong, I love it all, I'd love to own it, I just don't see him getting what he asks for. Shit, that's a new TV and change, or a kickass new gaming rig.
@TheStripe: Original art is generally a pretty high-end luxury item. If a person is still sweating a decent television or gaming rig, then art collection is probably not for them.
That being said, I wish I could afford to put Megaton up on my wall. :)
Artists are not always starving out of necessity. There's a lot of interesting reading material out there about the Bohemians of the early twentieth century.
"Blown up to canvas size, the characters from Gradius or Contra or Ninja Gaiden stop looking like games and start looking like Jungian archetypes..."
Oh you stupid pretentious cunt. This is what puts people off reading or at the very least puts them in a bad mood.
Then, I read the comment at the bottom:
"uh, welcome to the world of digital culture, guy. digital gaming has been the subject of poetry, narrative, film, or video art for as long as it has existed. gaming generally has been the subject of the arts for as long as art has existed."
This reaffirmed my faith in humanity and reminded me why I don't kill serially.
