Sorry about the late notice (the exhibit ended last night), but I just found out about their second Old School video game art show. It's not like I could have attended, being on the opposite coast. But, there is a good side to living across the country (and across the world for some of you)... you can sit at home, look at the artwork online, and then purchase originals and prints of the artwork after the exhibit ends. And let's face it, if you're playing these video games enough to buy the artwork based on them, leaving the house isn't really your "thing". It's not mine either.
This collection was heavy on the Mario, followed by Zelda and Punch Out. There were a few more obscure references in there, but this collection didn't stray from the hits. The AMAZING Arkanoid illustration may have been the least popular game in the batch, and the Street Fighter 2 car was a great reference.
Check out a few of the best pieces from Gallery 1988's Old School Video Game Art Show - Level 2 after the jump. For more images or to purchase the artwork, visit http://nineteeneightyeight.com/collections/old-school-video-games-level-2
