Krytol Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 I'm an artist, and I've always thought it would be cool to do some paintings inspired by 2600 screen shots. Well, I finally did it. Here are my first two; let me know what you think. Atari Paintings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Wow, those look great! How long did it take you to paint those two? I would love to have them hanging somewhere in my house. When can I get some? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krytol Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 The Invader took 9 hours, ESB took 31 hours. *sweating* I was going to put them in a gallery I show at, but I doubt anyone in this town would be interested. Email me if you're interested in owning them. Also, let me know what ideas you guys have for other games. Check back on that page soon, I'll put up some works that are in progress as we speak.

ATARIPITBULL Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 You have done some great looking work there, I collect Atari ads, posters, mobiles and such stuff, if you were to start making other such works, I would love to buy some of them off of you.

Stella'sGhost Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 That's the coolest thing I've seen in years. Great job! I see these little atari games as pieces of computer graphics history, some of these graphics are practically icons of the history of computer games/graphics. I was thinking of doing something similar, but because I can't paint, I was going to do it in photoshop and have the image laminated onto some kind of huge fibreboard and hang it up in my studio....

KAZ Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Excellent...if I ever get a larger place, in order to have a room devoted to Atari and classic gaming stuff...having Atari paintings like this would be absolutely PERFECT to have in this room. Makes me want to even more find a way to make this a reality. Someday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Very nice! I especially like the "Empire strikes back", nice colours. A new art form has been born, not cubism but pixelism I have been thinking about making Atari art myself for some time now. But so far I haven't come up with any ideas that I like. But I am working on it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Yeah amazing work! Keep it up, the Star Wars one is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Yeah, Han -- we've seen the inception of the Pixelist Era! Superlative paintings. I hope this will inspire others to continue with this new art form. CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samedeepwater_2000 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Wow those are amazing. The ESB one is ****ing beautiful (And I'm not even a star wars nut) ... The drawing of the 2600 is also very very cool, I like it unfinished too... Alx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
