Its small yes, but for $12 ?? I couldnt pass it up.. and I think one like this could fit in a standard frame with some nice mattes and really make it pop .. and still be less than $50 total ! Im starting to like these random art pieces better than Alamo's stuff as of late !!

Simply terrible.

It looks like a failed high school art project.

LOL .. Now do you really not like it or just dislike it because I do like it ??

I don't get it.

Has anyone picked Slater's latest (1987-1988)? I'm just curious, because I really don't get that? I find them atrocious. If I don't get it, please enlighten me.

I think they would only appeal to those who played a lot of video games in the 80's .. Looks to me like Megaman and Metroid characters .. Not my thing but retro/nostalgia is a niche market that seems to be constantly growing ..

There's a bunch of video game characters in the design. The people with disposable income today were kids in the 70's & 80's. The use of those characters in the design speaks/appeals to them, hence the sell out.

Too bad I missed it because like Zelda, those were also games I grew up playing. I see the megaman print and I instantly see myself sitting in front of the TV with my NES playing while my younger brother watches and waiting for a turn to play. Being the older brother, he waited a while

I bought a red Metroid (run of only 25) and blue Mega Man. At first glance, these pieces are easy to dismiss, and an even closer inspection reveals that the design is composed of unoriginal graphics/imagery...but they are so damn cool and fun. These games (including Zelda) make me feel like I am 7 again, and for that emotion Mr. Slater gets my $$$.

And CJ nails it here:

So, I think if you grew up in the NES age of innocence, especially with these games, then these prints are the shit for so many reasons.

Downstairs I have an older TV with an old school Nintendo/Super NES/Nintendo 64/GameCube all in a row beneath it. My friends will come over and we will party like its 1989...pizza party and sweat pants style (until the wives tell us to shut up and come upstairs). Anyway, I am going to have these 'stained glass windows of NES heaven' above The Altar.

It will go in this order, only left to right...cathedral style:

K. Let's just put it under the "Thierry is an idiot, he doesn't get what's cool" category. Because I really don't.

Thierry, I understand...you grew up in the 50s, they didn't have video games back then.

Ari · « **Reply #235 on:** April 02, 2011, 10:01:31 PM »

a GALAGA one I might have a look. Games went down hill from there.

I like reading. You should try it sometimes.

I for one cannot play video games anymore. One thing I just grew out of, and they grew away from me, and now I can barely understand whats happening 2 seconds in.

Just bought my daughter a Nintendo 3DS yesterday, apparently thats the cool thing for 16 year olds, stuffed if I know what I just paid for.

I read your dreck every day, that has to count for something.

And Ari, if your 16 year old is into games at her age...you could be doing alot worse, my man. Keep up the good work, seriously.

shite she is apparently a "gamer" she goes online forums like this and argues with adults about stuff I have no idea about (and has for years). they don't realise she is a kid, and fight back, but I am proud to say she holds her own and they usually back down (might have another Holiday on our hands.. lawyer that is).

wonka · « **Reply #240 on:** April 02, 2011, 10:26:30 PM »

Ha, sounds like all those 'problems' are good ones to have, Ari. 16 year old girls can be brutal...keep on lovin' her, she will turn out to be a good egg, which she sounds like right now.

Ari · « **Reply #241 on:** April 02, 2011, 10:28:30 PM »

ahh sorry, dont get me wrong, I love everything she even LOOKS AT, the apple of my eye. And I am VERY proud of her. (she is just too smart and cool for me to understand).

wonka · « **Reply #242 on:** April 04, 2011, 11:38:47 AM »

This looks like it could have potential. Mostly pumped about Tan and Kleinsmith on the docket:

Is there something special i need to do to add a photo? the picture is under 500KB but it keeps saying the upload folder is full.

Cj · « **Reply #244 on:** April 16, 2011, 10:15:57 AM »

Use photobucket or some other online image hosting site and just link the image.

You can do what Cj said for your own images, but for others online, just use the html img code in your post reply box...just insert the address between the two img codes.

I bought a set of Doyles Tarantino stuff (I know you haters out there; can save your breath, looks like a 5 year old, blah blah blah...)

Think there are 6 total coming.

Cj · « **Reply #247 on:** April 16, 2011, 12:10:24 PM »

Im just glad Doyle stuck to his own style instead of mimicking other artist.

eatbrie · « **Reply #248 on:** April 16, 2011, 01:07:16 PM »

Yeah, unfortunately too small for my taste... I just don't like small prints and don't understand why people make them...

Anyhow, here's a link to the sale, since Dale was so keen on sharing
