Smithsonian's call for fan pictures photo

To celebrate their "Art of Video Games" exhibit, the Smithsonian has sent out a call via email for fans to show their undying love for games via art, costumes, and even food. The calling states "We're particularly interested in seeing creative and crazy costumes inspired by your favorite game characters." Be careful what you wish for Smithsonian, we're a...ahem...interesting lot.

To submit your pics, head over to the Flickr group and show your mad skills!

The Art of Video Games exhibit opens on March 16th, 2012 at the American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. and will run until September 30, 2012.

That Pokemon ice cream made my day and I'm sad that I don't know how to make it.

So excited about this exhibit. Plus when it becomes a traveling show the institution I work for may be picking it up.
