Denver Comic Con 2014 - Day 2 Wrap Up
/A brief missive about Day 2 of Denver Comic Con before I head in for Day 3. I attended a panel with Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal and learned a bit about his methods and inspirations. The rest of the day was spent wandering the convention floor, talking with other attendees, and taking a few pictures with my phone.

/Browsing through the latest Hobbit news, I discovered this little gem. An art student from Germany has handcrafted a version of The Silmarillion in the style of the medieval illuminated manuscript. The illustrations and craftsmanship are amazing. This book is truly one of a kind.
Legend of Zelda Wallpaper
/Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary wallpaperI'm glad to see that Skyward Sword has a solid release date now. I haven't been this excited for a Zelda title in awhile. Possibly not since Ocarina of Time. I've enjoyed the Zelda titles that have come out since then, but there is something about this new one that has me thinking about Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past, which is my favorite Zelda title. To show my appreciation and love for the series I'm posting up for you, our readers, another wallpaper. This one as you can guess by the title is in homage to the Legend of Zelda series. Like the Mario wallpaper I was thinking about the items that just have that distinctive classic Zelda feel. I've made most of the items harken to my favorite A Link to the Past, though you will find a couple of items that are found in other games. It seems stranged to think that it's the 25th Anniversary of the series, considering I have been playing since the first installment. Man it makes me feel old. In any case I hope that everyone enjoys this wallpaper. It took me a lot longer than the Mario one, but I think the effort was well worth it for the final result. If you are liking these, let me know in the comments section and give me suggestions for a future wallpaper. I might just draw up a suggestion I like!

Super Mario Bros Wallpaper
/Mario Bros. wallpaper image sampleI've been working on some artwork and decided to share a piece with all of you who follow us online. I actually got the idea from trying to work out some sort of Mario Bros. button. I was just sketching out some ideas, but kinda like the idea of the mushroom flanked by fire flowers and it sort of just carried on from there. I know it's not every item available in every game, but I wanted to cover just enough to get idea across. Most of them are old school too, so I like that fact. I know I'm a couple of years late for the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary, but that's okay. I think I'll actually make it for the Zelda one, so keep your eyes peeled for that post! I think everyone will like that too. Without further ado, follow the links below for a wallpaper of your choice. Until my next art post, game on!
