Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Finally! Here are all four of the turtles, based on their action figures from the late 80's. These will all be available as solo, 8x8 prints, as well as two extra wide prints, one with all four turtles, and one with all four villains. I'll make an announcement here when they're available!

Update: Based on feedback I added open eyes to the other three turtles and made them each a bit more unique!

Raccoon Mario

For today's illustration i decided to go with Raccoon Mario. Even though Super Mario Bros. 2 is my favorite of the original trilogy, i can't deny the greatness that is Super Mario Bros. 3. All of the new power suits were just too awesome with my favorite being the elusive Tanooki suit.

I would scour the levels looking for that tiny little bear/raccoon/whatever-the-heck-it-was suit, eventually find one and then of course accidentally run into an enemy before i got the chance to turn into a statue...*sigh.*

At least you could always count on the good ol' Super Leaf. It might have been a poor-man's Tanooki suit but at least you could still fly.

And i decided to give Mario a little wrench (who i affectionately refer to as Wrenchie), since I was always disappointed that there wasn't a wrench weapon in any of the games.

The Legend of Zelda

Here is my contribution to the Fill Up Your Hearts blog. My parents gave my older brother a Nintendo for Christmas of '86 (i think) and from then on we were hooked. We only had a few games starting out and this was one of them and it's still one of my favorite games.
