Donkey Kong Junior Shower is Truly Bananas
February 20th, 2009
You really don’t hear much about Donkey Kong Junior these days. If you ever wonder what happened to the little pixelated monkey in diapers, look no further. He’s got a new job keeping watch over naked people as they hose off.
This intricate hand-tiled shower was created by Colombian artists Andres Barragan and Miss Vynilos (who seems to have a thing for Mario, Princess Peach and Toadstool, too). Each tile’s color and location was based on an individual pixel from a blown-up screenshot of the Nintendo arcade classic.
There’s nothing quite like taking a shower with a baby monkey. I do it all the time.

LoL, you kidding me. But the wall become interesting and very eye-catching after applying the pixel image. Worth a try actually. But I would love the Mario version instead of Kong.
That is so amazing! I want to go there.

Andres: How long did the project take? It looks like it was a ton of work.
technabob: We made it in 2 stages, first the wall, it took 3 days to mount and dry (design and material reserch not included) and then the window and ceiling another 2 days.
