I am 8-bit : art inspired by classic videogames of the '80s

Pac-Man. Frogger. Super Mario Bros. These classic videogames are burned into the collective consciousness of an entire generation, thanks to countless hours spent at pizza parlors and bowling alleys across the country. Now artists such as Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, and Ashley Wood put their memories to paper, canvas, and wood to create original works of art inspired by the art of the videogame. Chuck Klosterman shares his thoughts in his distinctively insightful and entertaining style in a foreword on how videogames created a new playground for artistic expression. With more than 100 thought-provoking, amusing, and simply fun pieces of original art, i am 8-bit is a pixilated stroll down memory lane. 8bit-001 1 8bit-002 2 8bit-003 3 8bit-004 4 8bit-005 5 8bit-006 6 8bit-007 7 8bit-008 8 8bit-009 9 8bit-010 10 8bit-011 11 8bit-012 12 8bit-013 13 8bit-014 14 8bit-015 15 8bit-016 16 8bit-017 17 8bit-018 18 8bit-019 19 8bit-020 20 8bit-021 21 8bit-022 22 8bit-023 23 8bit-024 24 8bit-025 25 8bit-026 26 8bit-027 27 8bit-028 28 8bit-029 29 8bit-030 30 8bit-031 31 8bit-032 32 8bit-033 33 8bit-034 34 8bit-035 35 8bit-037 36 8bit-038 37 8bit-039 38 8bit-040 39 8bit-041 40 8bit-042 41 8bit-043 42 8bit-044 43 8bit-045 44 8bit-046 45 8bit-047 46 8bit-048 47 8bit-049 48 8bit-050 49 8bit-051 50 8bit-052 51 8bit-053 52 8bit-054 53 8bit-055 54 8bit-056 55 8bit-057 56 8bit-058 57 8bit-059 58 8bit-060 59 8bit-061 60 8bit-062 61 8bit-063 62 8bit-064 63 8bit-065 64 8bit-066 65 8bit-067 66 8bit-068 67 8bit-069 68 8bit-070 69 8bit-071 70 8bit-072 71 8bit-073 72 8bit-074 73 8bit-075 74 8bit-076 75 8bit-077 76 8bit-078 77 8bit-079 78 8bit-080 79 8bit-081 80 8bit-082 81 8bit-083 82 8bit-084 83 8bit-085 84 8bit-086 85 8bit-087 86 8bit-088 87 8bit-089 88 8bit-090 89 8bit-091 90 8bit-092 91 8bit-093 92 8bit-094 93 8bit-095 94 8bit-096 95 8bit-097 96 8bit-098 97 8bit-099 98 8bit-100 99 8bit-102 100 8bit-103 101 8bit-104 102 8bit-105 103 8bit-106 104 8bit-107 105 8bit-108 106 8bit-109 107 8bit-110 108 8bit-111 109 8bit-112 110 8bit-113 111 8bit-114 112 8bit-115 113 8bit-116 114 8bit-117 115 8bit-118 116 8bit-119 117 8bit-120 118 8bit-121 119 8bit-122 120 8bit-123 121 8bit-124 122 8bit-125 123 8bit-126 124 8bit-127 125 8bit-128 126 8bit-129 127 8bit-130 128 8bit-131 129 8bit-132 130 8bit-133 131 8bit-134 132 8bit-135 133 8bit-136 134 8bit-137 135 8bit-138 136 8bit-139 137 8bit-140 138 8bit-141 139 8bit-142 140 8bit-143 141 8bit-144 142 8bit-145 143 8bit-146 144 8bit-147 145 8bit-148 146 8bit-149 147 8bit-150 148 8bit-151 149 8bit-152 150 8bit-153 151 8bit-154 152 8bit-155 153 8bit-156 154 8bit-157 155 8bit-158 156 8bit-159 157 8bit-160 158 Contains original artwork by lowbrow pioneers such as Tim Biskup and Gary Baseman.
