I am 8-Bit Exhibit is Back

/media/news/21020/1.jpg

The old-school gaming art show bursting with brilliant works inspired by games from the '80s and '90s returns. Starting today and running until May 12th, classic console connoisseurs can head out to sunny Los Angeles and take a nostalgic journey through a gallery populated with both eerie and charming renditions of their beloved 8-bit heroes.


* Over 200 original pieces of art from over 100 artists

* Performances by ComputeHer and 8 Bit Weapon

* Giant 5-and-a-half foot Atari 2600 controller (that works!)

* Mega Man 2600, playable on giant controller (developed exclusively for I AM 8-BIT to celebrate the Blue Bomber’s 20th Anniversary)

* Other surprises

"Hip" and "With it" attendees are advised to quickly snatch up that surprisingly affordable stencil of Duke the Daring brandishing his Glandhammer to Princess Peach. Please do be wary of new parents raised on classic games looking to decorate their newborns bedrooms with stylized relics of their past. They'll be the ones with expanding midsections wedged into designer jeans a few sizes too small.
