He has since gotten a new couch, but my mom keeps her mouth shut about it nowadays. But anyway, had he waited a few more years, he probably wouldn’t have had to go and get it upholstered because he could have just painted over it instead with one of these Simply Spray Fabric Paints. And it’s appropriately called the Upholstery Paint.

But there’s more to the Simply Spray line than meets the eye. Aside from the basic fabric paints, there’s also the Stencil Spray, Paint It Black, Puff Paint, and even Spray Blood.

The Stencil Spray boasts that it looks like a silkscreen, while Paint It Black turns your once-black clothing items back to, well, black. Spray Blood is (obviously) spray-on blood, while my favorite of the bunch is Puff Paint, where the paint sort of puffs up when you heat it with a dryer.

You can get all of the Simply Spray paint sprays online from SprayPaint4Fabric and Fabric Spray Paint.

I definitely recognize my Speak & Spell, NES controller, Casio calculator watch, Etch-a-Sketch, ViewMaster, Atari joystick and Rubik’s Cube. Heck, I think at some point I possessed every single object on this thing except for the My Little Pony and that creepy little Troll Doll. This awesome design measures 19.7″ x 27.5″ and each one is laser cut from heavy tangerine Cranford board. They look especially great matted and framed, like against the black background shown below:

Unfortunately, cutoutpaper is only offering a limited edition of 20 of these, so you’d better chop-chop on over to Etsy and pony up your $69 if you want one. Last I checked, there were just five left!

Recently sighted in South Beach, Miami, the stencils feature a dayglo backdrop and a bold graphic treatment of Mario that makes him really pop.

Next up for Mario is a stop in Lutry, Switzerland, for the upcoming Game & Watch art show at Vantard Gallery, which runs from April 26 to May 24, 2008.
