If you were to go into a thrift store, the last thing you'd probably buy is a painting. What if that painting had a little videogame spin to it though? That's what Etsy artist loudxmouse has done here. He's taking thrift store paintings and giving them a Katamari Damacy bonus.
loudxmouse is currently sold out of paintings, but keep an eye on his Etsy for more to appear. I won't be surprised to see a new fad pop up out of this due to all of the attention loudxmouse is getting.

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I could do a street fighter 4 theme, dreamcast, sonic, Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy series, god of war, soul calibur, zombies.
Do I smell a hint of jealousy? What kind of crack are you smoking anyways? That is a hell of a lot more than cd outline, its painted to look like it blends right in with the original painting.
I think it's highly amusing though I probably wouldn't consider actually getting one.
That's really cool. I'd totally have that in my hall.
Nana, nanana nanananana Katamari on the Swing...
If original saw his painting sold then he would be furious. Plus art professors would let you draw simple cirlce like that. I'm not jealous, have seen better artist than this: Bansky. Takashi Murakami, CBS crew, 8-bit, other street artist, and fairy. This one Bansky painting I did like, but I can't seem to find it on the internet.

Then do this and post it on a cblog.
I would totally want one of these in my house!
If he had painted them from the ground up, the effect would not be nearly as amusing.
Get it?
