Looking for a way to make your game room really special? Look no further than these original 3-dimensional arcade artworks by sign maker Melissa Jones.

Galaga and Robotron Art by Melissa Jones

Melissa creates original wood carvings of classic arcade characters, then creates a resin casting of the original and hand paints each one with bold acrylic colors.

Dig Dug Resin Castings by Melissa Jones

Her arcade designs include classics like Donkey Kong, Galaga, Robotron 2084, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Q*Bert and Burgertime among others.

Prices for individual castings range from about $20 to $60 a piece, but complete sets with a matching canvas backdrop run from $225 to $375. But for about $2000, you can deck out your entire room with this complete collection.

    Very cool stuff! Dig-dug ate up countless hours of my time when I was about 5 years old.

    One time, I tried burrowing underground to pop prairie dogs but it didn’t work. Instead I got a concussion from banging my head against the dirt and I ruined my best bike pump :( I’ll get you next time Prairie Dog!

    This lady’s socks are interesting, I had socks like that in 3rd grade.

    Is it sad of me to be the first to mention that this girl is hot?

    I was waiting for someone to say something. It was only a matter of time.

    I like how she’s in the center of each picture, as opposed to, you know, her art. Oh well, I guess sex sells.

    sex sells ALWAYS ;o)

    Maybe it’s to help for a size perspective of the art.
