Back in early 2007, The College of New Jersey was home to a collection of chalk murals entitled “Thank You for Playing.” The collection featured chalky sprites from classic games like Mega Man, ExciteBike, Bubble Bobble, and Final Fantasy.

‘Invaded Space’ by Adam Richardson

Adam_Richardson_Space_6

Photographer, graphic designer, and design director Adam Richardson recently released pics from his news project entitled “Invaded” where he adds iconic imagery from the game Space Invaders onto actual war photos.

I was a bit bummed to find out that instead of actually taking the pictures himself, Richardson just snags them from stock photo sites like Getty Images and AP Images. Although it takes away some of the magic, the final results are still pretty brilliant.

After all these years, Ryu Hayabusa still looks badass in sprite form. Here he is running along some wall somewhere. This piece is by 8-bit graffiti artist GameBoyOne. Be sure to check out more of his work on his Flickr page.

Lazy Man’s Cosplay – King Koopa Shirt

KingLizard

This Bowser t-shirt is brought to you by the netcasters (they have some sort of vendetta against being called podcasters) at FancyPantsGangsters.com. I especially love the pixelated fireball sprites on the front.

Finally, you can live out your lifelong dream of standing around on bridges and waiting for strangers to approach you for a battle to the death.

Daily Graffiti: Remember Alex Kidd?

Here’s some cool stencil graffiti featuring a sprite of Alex Kidd from the oldschool Sega days. Fun fact: did you know Alex Kidd was sort of Sega’s unofficial mascot before Sonic came in and stole the spotlight?
