Michael Crow of Mike’s Mosaics created these Mario and Mega Man mosaics using glazed terracotta and ceramic tiles, and they look awesome. I love that Mario is wearing his Tanooki look, though I think he’d have trouble getting off the ground with all the added weight of the tile and concrete backing board.

Mega Man looks mighty fine too, sporting his classic blue costume.

Mario is really substantial, measuring in at 27.5″ x 23.25″, while Mega Man is a bit smaller at 12.5″ x 15.5″. Since both have been sealed, they’re okay for indoor or outdoor use. I’d be so thrilled with these guys in my garden instead of gnomes (hint-hint). Mario is priced at $250 (USD), and Mega Man is going for $200. Both can be found over at Mike’s Mosaics Etsy Shop. Mike will also make custom mosaics of your favorite character on request.

The mosaic is nice and clean. It features C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. These characters do seem to gel together in the movies and they do the same in this mosaic. There are more characters hidden away. I think I see a Luke Skywalker or Wedge Antilles peeking out as well.

Needless to say that I’d like to have one of these in my house, but I doubt that my wife or the new occupants of our duplex would approve.

But even if they don’t play, they sure would look cool hung on the wall of your game room. They’re made by Breakin’ & Makin’ Mosaics, and currently come in NES, Wii-Mote and PS 3 versions.

Each one is handmade from numerous individual tiles, carefully arranged to look like your favorite controllers. The PS3 controller measures 12″ x 4″, the Wii-mote 13″ x 3″, and the NES controller 13″ x 5″.

They sell for $45(USD) each, and can be found over at Breakin’ & Makin’ Mosaic’s Etsy shop. Maybe if enough of you guys ask nicely, she’ll make an Xbox 360 version – or at least an Atari 2600 one.

The Runco WindowWall is a customizable video wall system, allowing you to seamlessly integrate video into the walls of your home or office.

A typical WindowWall system come in a 3×3 display configuration, pushing out a native 4098 x 2304 resolution onto a 10.1 foot wide screen, and can tile video from 1080p, 720p and other video sources. Other standard configurations include 1×2, 2×1, 2×2, 2×3, 3×1, 3×2, and 5×4 grids to fit into whatever wall space you have to work with. You can even arrange the displays onto curved surfaces. Runco also offers custom configurations to suit your every giant-video-wall whim.

Each LCD “tile” in the grid measures just 46″ diagonally, 4.5″ thick, weighs 48 lbs, and is separated by a small gap between tiles that’s 0.28″ wide, so while the image has some seams, they’re pretty unobtrusive. Each panel is set into a special “Tile Align” mounting system which ensures the displays are properly aligned on your wall.

No word on pricing for these panels, but I suppose if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it.

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.

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.

Perhaps inspired by the oh-so-awesome Ms. Pac-Man bathroom, this piece entitled Perpetual Pac-Man would look great in any game room. Or if you’re a serious retro gaming geek – hanging in your bedroom. Of course, it might freak me out to see Blinky staring back at me with his googley eyes in the middle of the night; “Don’t eat me, man. Eat the cherries! Eat the cherries!”

Created by Donna over ArcadeArt, Perpetual Pac-Man measures in at 20″ (w) x 8″ (h) and is handcrafted from acrylics and urban ink on canvas, then hundreds of individual colorful tiles made by the artist herself.

It’s just one of many fun old school arcade-inspired pieces over in ArcadeArt’s Etsy shop. Be sure to swing by and check it out.

Tetris Tiles come in a variety of shapes inspired by the classic arcade puzzler, and let you create unique patterns on any wall or floor. Just like the game, it’s up to you to interlock them to fill in every single spot. They come in just about every color under the sun, and are made from fine Italian ceramics.

Tiles are custom cut to order by their UK creator and it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. Ready to decorate? Just drop the guys at Tetris Tiles an e-mail to place your order.

Now you can join in the fun and make your own Space Invader tile with the Space Invader Invasion Kit. The (quite pricey) $100 kit comes with an instruction sheet and a set of pre-cut invader tiles. Just add cement and you can be part of the invasion.
