I have always been rather particular about the video games I played. Back in the day, I preferred games with shooting and skipped a lot of the popular titles out there. That means that I never played some of these classic NES games that have now been turned into unique artworks.

Anyone out there that has kids has probably seen more Disney movies than you care to see. We certainly watch more than our share of cartoon films around my house. I happen to prefer The Walking Dead.

A lot of people take paintings that they find at thrift stores and add stuff to them. Some people even add Star Wars themes to these paintings, but Dave Vancook has a great eye for it.

This ship is a pirate’s conundrum. You can board her and get the booty, but you can’t take the loot without taking apart the ship. It just reminds me of what I could have accomplished had I not wasted so may quarters in the arcade.

Damn. Yoda looks amazing in polygons. Etsy seller The Retro Inc sells a line of custom-sized throw pillow covers with polygon art renderings of Star Wars characters.

What do you do when you are deployed in Afghanistan and you have way too much down time? Sounds like a good problem to have in Afghanistan. Well, Redditor b3tarded is there and made the most of his or her downtime by creating a Mario mural.

People just seem to get a little crazy when it comes to Flappy Bird. Forget about how frustrating the game is. I’m talking about stuff like putting phones with Flappy Bird on eBay that sell for way too much money.

Late last year we found out about Looking Glass, a volumetric printing service. Each 3D object consists of printed slices stacked and stuck together in a case. This month the company relaunched with a better and more affordable service.

Before its Diablo III art contest, DeviantART also held a competition for another major video game – Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. The contest called for the art community’s members to show their own take on the heroine Lightning.

When it comes to speakers and TVs one of the fashionable things to do is hide them so that when they aren’t in use, you can’t tell speakers or a TV are in the room. We have seen TVs hidden by art on the wall in the past.

Two men are spending some quality time living in a rather unique home – this 25-foot wooden wheel. Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder are living in this wheel as part of the In Orbit art project at The Boiler gallery in Manhattan.

Technology has changed not only how people do things, but how people perceive and create art as well. Take what researcher and artist Cassinelli Alvaro has done with his Toro-bots.

These Super Mario Bros. nesting dolls looks fantastic. Individually, each is a quality work of art. They are a tad dark in theme though. I mean, Bowser seems to have ripped the Princess’ arm off. Heck, Mario is holding a bloody wrench.

You can create all sorts of awesome sculptures and structures with LEGO. From models of cars and buildings to carnivals and landmarks, the sky’s the limit, as long as you have the right bricks and enough creativity.

Artists, it’s time to transmute your skills into fame, treasure and a trip to Blizzard’s headquarters. The game developer has teamed up with the online community deviantART to set up the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls fan art contest.

George Zisiadis – one of the designers behind the sweet mistletoe drone – shares with us one of his latest concepts: a public art installation on the facade of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History filled with large pinwheels.
