Check out the super sweet, framed Mega Man artwork my friend Nate and his girlfriend Amy made for my birthday:

The entire piece is pretty big, actually.  The frame is 2 feet tall and a foot and a half wide.

They used 1/2-inch square cutout pieces of origami paper.  (Must’ve taken awhile…)

The Japanese sunburst background is a nice touch, and the matching painted “blue bomber” picture frame ties the whole thing together quite nicely.

Here’s a close up view:

Thanks for the awesome birthday gift, guys!

Here we have some really cool pixel art by a Flickr user who goes by the name dergutemoritz:

(Yes, that’s his bedroom wall…)

(You can see the artist mapping his progess on the laptop in the bottom right hand corner of the pic…)

(Almost there…)

And there you have it – Mega Man, the Blue Bomber himself, in all of his 8-bit glory!

The artist describes the piece as “Classic NES Mega Man on my room’s wall, made of 7×7cm paper squares, about 2m in height.”

(A photo of the artist’s desk in the planning stage along with the paper squares he used!)

Fun stuff!

If you’re a retro gaming fan like myself and have a fondness for all things 8-bit, check out this earlier post about Blik’s Nintendo-themed wall decals!
