Mario Hits the Streets of New York
 |
Mario, as seen on the streets of New York City (on 23rd st between 10th and 11th). I have a funny feeling that whatever is down at the other end of those pipes is a lot less pleasant than the bowels of the Mushroom Kingdom. |

Electro Art Works Makes Ray Guns a Reality
 |
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be Marvin the Martin. No, not because of his stylish scrub-brush headgear or his oversize clown shoes. Nope, it was the awesome destructive power of his ACME Ray Gun that I envied. Now, thanks to sculptor Andy Hill of Electro Art… |
