Classic Video Game Characters in the Real World

By The Dude in Art, Gaming, Photography on Jan 30, 2011 at 9:12 pm

It’s like Tron in reverse – characters from beloved games of yore are stepping off the grid and invading our reality. My lifelong dream of having a drink with Q*Bert may finally come true!

8-bitscapes, a collaboration between artist Jamie Sneddon & photographer Kevin Rozario-Johnson, brings classic video game characters to the real world, and the results are both spectacular and just a teensy bit menacing.

With a ‘giant nod’ towards the world of 8-bit gaming, the artists have produced a series of 8, strictly limited edition prints. These thought provoking images re-imagine well loved, iconic retro digital characters in real life scenarios. Framing them forever as they munch, invade, race, battle and bleep their way around planet EARTTTTTHHHHHH!!

    For an amazing tribute to the 8 bit world watch ‘Happy up Here’ by the Norwegian electronica band Royksopp

    If you want another amazing animated video backed by their music try ‘Remind Me’ with animation by the French firm H5
