Description
another month, another awesome group theme from the autumn society of philadelphia ! for august's "8-bit and beyond" show, i chose to illustrate my take on dragon's lair, the most gorgeous (and simultaneously frustrating) game of the 1980's. i had a chance to work out the sketches for this piece on my trip to LA last week, and i think the finished piece has retained some of that sun drenched 80's west coast vibe.at any rate, the show will once again be held at the inimitable brave new worlds comics in olde city, philadelphia. make sure to stop by, check out the art (trust me, there are going to be some killer pieces in this show), buy your weekly comics and chill to the musical stylings of dr. octoroc, an 8-bit dj!
show opening:
friday, august 7th, 2009
time:
6-9 pm
location:
brave new worlds comics
45 N 2nd st
philadelphia, pa 19106

Since you're into dragon's lair and all, I animated a Dragon's Lair thing you may like...

Fantastic work, One of my favourite games of all time, mostly for nostalgia rather than gameplay.
Great style.

I have this game on my iPod Touch, and I'd play it occasionally. I wish I could find the DVD verion someday.

I'm going to show this weekend. I want to buy this one. I was hoping to be able to buy it online but no luck. Called the shop and was told I have to be there. No problem...I love Philly. I just hope this one is available when I get there.

That is just some nostalgically cool stuff right there!! And a fantastic use of negative and positive space, your eye easily fills in the blanks - so clever!

I used to have this game for my old school gameboy, it was one of the hardest games... ever! But I still love it.

I loved that game so much, but I was just a touch too young to realize you weren't actually controlling Dirk's every move.
