Dad Paints Super Mario Bros. 3 Mural In Son’s Room

This potential father-of-the-year candidate painted a 12-foot long Super Mario Bros. 3 mural on his son’s bedroom wall. Each pixel was painted over a huge grid that the father drew out across the wall. The whole project took about 2 years to complete, but the father admits he slacked for about a year and a half.

You can see lots of work-in-progress shots and a full view of the mural here.

Thanks for the tip, Dean!

Daily Graffiti: The Sacred Mushroom

This is far better than the typical Super Mushroom stencils that I come across. I love that the eyes have been replaced by little Xes.

Super Mario Jesus

Flipbook animation featuring Jesus plowing through World 1-1 with God-like speed and strength. Am I going to hell for posting this? I’d like to think Jesus thinks it’s pretty funny too.

Erick Scarecrow’s 18″ Soopa Maria Grayscale Figure Revealed!

Promo-7

Here’s some more revealing pics of Erick Scarecrow’s grayscale colorway of Soopa Maria that I posted a sneak peek of earlier this week.

Promo-6

Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Maria Sato character — clearly an homage to Super Mario Bros. 3 — is my absolute favorite among his figures by far and it would be a huge understatement to say that this new grayscale colorway makes me just a bit giddy.

Mario & Luigi Wanted for Robbery and Assault Against NY Cab Driver

From NY Daily News:

Wanted: Super Mario and his brother Luigi.

Cops are hunting for a group of robbers caught on camera assaulting a cabbie in Staten Island while wearing Halloween costumes of the popular video game characters.

If you’re going to rob somebody, I can think of better costumes than a funny hat and overalls to hide your identity.

R.I.P. Captain Lou Albano, 1933-2009

A lot of people might remember Captain Lou Albano from the golden days of WWF wrestling, but I’ll always remember him as the original Super Mario.

I can fondly remember rushing home from school (back when I was in kindergarten) to catch the newest episode of The Super Mario Super Show to see the Cap’n work his magic on my tiny adolescent brain.

Louis Vincent Albano died Wednesday morning on October 14th of 2009 at the age of 76. Let’s not think of this as GAME OVER. Instead, let’s think this as the Cap’n finally making it to that bonus round in the clouds.

Rest in piece, Captain. You gave a troubled little boy somewhere magical to disappear to each and every weekday.
