framed piece
16 x 12 inches
chalk pastels and acrylic paints

a bit of a random experiment with a picture frame, first i drew out the basic background from a Super Mario game with chalk pastels. Then i used acrylic paints to add some features onto the glass, such as the brick blocks, enemies and Mario himself. I then put them back into the frame, in the hope that this would give a 3D effect to the piece, similar to that in the game. The frame reminded me of an old arcade screen, which is what influenced me to try this idea out and see what it would look like, what do you think, does it work, if so, what do you want to see me try out next?
