Another unique and original art installation for, and curated by, the "I AM 8-BIT" v2.007 show, but this time, I can actually refer you to who created it, so Yes! (assuming the "as-if scenario" that you, too, cared as much I do for having your chaos compartmentalized.)

I swore to myself to cut back on the prefaces and forewords (/makes an angry, exasperated face)... sorry.

"Peach & Yoshi In Subcon, The Land Of Dreams"
17" x 23"

author's comments:
i choose the odd Mario 2 originating from the 1st NES. i liked that Princess Peach (originally Princess Toadstool)
could be chosen as a play. i was certainly influenced by video games particularly in the mid 80s-early 90s .
and began playing at around 6-7 yrs old, i think.. mario bros 1-3 i enjoyed particularly during those years

the title is general but since i strayed so far from the original design, i suppose it helps to describe
it's origins.
oh and the girl is supposed to be princess peach, though i couldnt bare to paint a crown on her head.
this piece took about 3 months to finish. finally here it is!
