Pac-Man #1

Well, unfortunately I didn't get my act together to submit any artwork to the I AM 8 BIT show that premieres tonite, but I thought I'd share some of the sketches and roughs from the painting I did last year.

I also had ideas for a Donkey Kong painting, a Frogger painting and others - but I ended up just getting one Pac-Man painting done. I'd like to do the others in the future though!

Here are some of the early doodles I came up with while brainstorming:



"Honey, I'm Home"


"I think we lost'em boys"


A framing idea






Pac-Man the Yellow Ocotopus


"Ulp!"
