Neil sees an eyeball and he wants to paint it black
No colors anymore Neil wants them to turn black

Neil posts his art on Etsy until his darkness goes

This is an original art piece featuring the Super Mario Bros., drawn in the trademark Neil Jam style. It was made with a brush pen and prismacolor markers on a 4"x6" sheet of bristol board. After I lovingly crafted both Mario and Luigi I signed it on the lower right corner (Fitz). This will fit in any standard 4"x6" photo frame, and would make any home or office shine! We all have mad love for these Nintendo plumbers. Now is the time to show them you care.

Someone please medicate this man. For more of his stuff check out  www.neiljam.com

Their eyes are normal. The pupils are just really fucking dialated. Wonder why.....

You think that's creepy? Try looking at very realistic 3D character models sans-eyeballs. The more next-gen the game, the more zombie-like they look...

OK not to rant but all this recent wave of video game art strikes me as retarded. it's like making a movie of a game - all the art of the game is pretty self-contained and any art that relies on a video game for its content strikes me as pretty uninspired, unless it's actually commenting on the games like pop art. pop art is way overdone and post-modernism isn't funny any more. where do you go after post-modernism anyway. I probably just lost a lot of imaginary web friends

They kind of remind me of John Wayne Gacy's paintings.

Bahamut I whole heartedly agree. If I had time to paint something using other people's characters as subject matter I'd grab my canvas and whip up some neo-impressionist images of Super Mario visiting pygmy Mario tribes and I'd probably land an article on Nintendo Power or something in the near future. But personally, I'd rather use my creative energy on works that are 100% my ideas.

The shock value of using games as the primary focus is still fresh though, and once it's permeated the art scene enough and the artists have run out of explanations for their mash ups of underground gaming culture and society, it'll be over.
