Showcase: Cartoony Consoles by AmazingTrout






You know what I don't love? Those caricature drawings sold by artists on boardwalks, where they take famous people and distort their most prominent features. To me, they're like the visual art equivalent of puns: trying to get a laugh in the cheapest way possible (side note: I don't hate puns, but you have to admit they're the exact opposite of high-concept humour.)

And yet somehow, when that same principle is applied to videogame consoles, my monocle pops out and I find myself heartily approving. Click the link below to check out more of AmazingTrout's console artwork, including the Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx.

(Click for full-size)

Loving these sort-of-minimalist video game posters by Pascal Richon, with their pixelly look and short focal length. Check out the link below for the full series.
