Mario Travels Through Tokyo

It may seem like the Super Mario Bros. are from Italy, but they actually trace their origins back to Japan, so the Italian accent must be some kind of strange speech impediment.

Mario has a lotta love for his hometown of Tokyo, and the citizens still praise him for keeping their pipework clean of gunk and vicious snapping turtles, but even in his hometown he can’t help but run through the streets like he's conquering a level.

This delightful fan film by viz fx artist Dean Wright follows Mario as he makes his way across the Tokyo cityscape to get to the Super Smash Bros. tournament. Itsa fantastico!

I LOVE this work! Don't forget there are TWO pages of photos. Too bad there is no text to give credit to the artist and talk about how the pieces are made. I'll try to get back with another comment on a recent book I got for Christmas about making sculpture out of tin cans.

I made some last year---soldiers out of soup cans, with pipe for legs and hats and bittle caps and electric cas for plumes and epaulettes. I called them (what else?) "CanQuistadors"
