← Older: Excite Bike
Excite Bike was one of the first complex pixel art pieces I tried. Multiple colors, lots of edges, some floating pixels…this one was quite a bit more difficult than the earlier ones like Space Invaders and Joust. I watched Indiana Jones on a loop as I cut the wood, stained it and glued it all together. I really enjoyed Excite Bike when I was younger, the feeling of speed as you would launch off a ramp or hit a turbo pad was unlike anything else at the time. This one reads really well from a distance and I dig the action of him being in the middle of a wheelie or a jump.

Hiiiiyaaahhhh!!!! I was never very good at Ninja Gaiden for the NES. In fact, I was terrible at it, so I just watched …
Adventure
The grandest of all Atari 2600 games! Adventure!!! The very first game to ever feature an Easter Egg by a (the) programmer… This game had it all…terrifying enemies, a dashing hero, a chalice and a sword that looks just like an arrow. My friend Kyle told me that I had to make him a dragon….so I did. This is the second set I made to hang up at work. It includes the Hero (the square), the sword, the TERRIFYING dragon and the key the Hero is searching for. I think it all turned out pretty good. The Hero is a little more square than I remember him being and that dragon is a lot scarier when you are a kid…
Behold the mighty dragon! The key is off to the right...good luck getting it with that dragon in the way....
The only thing missing is a bat....and a chalice......and a castle....
By popular demand...the Adventure BAT
The more complete set...Hero, Sword, Bat, Dragon, Chalice and Key
