Hiya, long time no see…
So I’ve been a bit preoccupied over the summer but I’ll start posting again and one of these days we’ll do a redesign…

Anyhoo, here’s some excellent pixel art by Jude Buffum, a charming graphic designer after my own heart…

Not that I’ve got anything against Teddy Ruxpin.

Jude makes glicee prints of his artwork so why not make one of your walls considerable more awesome…

Has it really been so long? Japanese hipster/retro culture store Meteor has unveiled this year’s My Famicase exhibition, an arena for 58 Japanese designers and artists to create fictional NES game labels, adhered to cartridges just like the real thing.

Sadly, even by Japanese standards most of these games are too bizarre to coexist peacefully in our world, and it is with a heavy heart that I’ve resigned myself to the fact I will never get to play Look at the Rainbow, Loveletter or the lengthily-titled Because it is Strong, it is Stout, it is Courageous, and it is Popular. Kauji in Childhood in my lifetime.
