Adventure Time! The Game
I posted a work-in-progress image for this animation project by Mike Gaboury not too long ago, but now it's done! We're still a ways away from a fully-playable, 8-bit Adventure Time game, but the above video (which features the imaginary start screen animation for such a glorious happenstance) will have to suffice until then.

The Return of iam8bit: SUPER iam8bit
"MK Kalamari" by Jose Emroca Flores
"Plight of the Koopas" by Derick Maasen
"'Zeruda no Densetsu" by Carlos Ramos
"Portrait of Rockman" by Chris Sanchez
"Absolute Power" by Tim Shumate
Gallery Nineteen Eighty-Eight is doing a sequel to their legendary iam8bit show, entitled SUPER iam8bit! If the promotional pieces that G1988 have released are any indication, SUPER iam8bit should be absolutely outstanding.
It appears that G1988 is also releasing the second volume of videogame-inspired art to coincide with the show. I was a huge, ginormous fan of the first volume, entitled simply "i-am-8-bit: Art Inspired by Classic Videogames of the '80s" and will definitely be grabbing Volume II once it's been released.
SUPER iam8bit starts August 11th, 2011 at Gallery Nineteen Eighty-Eight in Los Angeles. You can buy the first iam8bit art book here, while the second book should be sold hereabouts whenever it's out.

Ever wonder what happens to Mario when he falls into one of the pits in World 1-1? Artist Dash Coleman has the answer.

I seem to have two themes today: the ghosts from Pac-Man, and fatheed's art. Here they are, together at last!

Mega Man Tribute
Udon Entertainment recently called on artists, illustrators and designers to contribute entries to their Mega Man Tribute art contest in honour of the iconic little blue bomber's 22-year history, with the winner's piece appearing in a limited-edition tribute book being presented at the 2011 San Diego Comicon.
The contest closed on February 4th, 2011, and while the winner has yet to be announced, some of the pieces submitted are genuinely phenomenal. Take a look below for a few of my favourites, and as always, click on each image for a full-res version.

The Great Gatsby (NES)
I'd be remiss if I didn't bring your attention to this great "Gatsby" flash game (see what I did there?) done up in the style of an old Nintendo platformer. Particularly impressive is the attention to detail the creators (Charlie and Pete) have put into not only the game but also the faux promotional materials and manual for the game.

201 Mega Men: A Sampling
~captainslam has created a massive compilation of 201 videogame protagonists done up in the style of MegaMan, and it's a thing of beauty to behold. Above you'll find a few of my personal favorites, which is only a tiny sampling of the overall piece. Lookit that little PipBoy! Adorable. And DEADLY. Radiation deadly!

Fantastic Four #26, Donkey-Kongified
"Fantastic Four #26", by Anthony Vukojevich
Covered is a blog featuring reinterpretations of classic (and sometimes not-so-classic) comic book covers by a number of artists. There's some excellent work to be seen there, notably Anthony Vukojevich's classic videogame-inspired rehashing of Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky's cover of Fantastic Four #26 (check out the original here for comparison.)
