Luigi, by Mike P. Mitchel

One great thing about old-school NES graphics (actually, there are many, but let’s stick to just one for now) is that it allowed the players to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. This is why there can be “30 interpretations” of Mario but not a “30 interpretations of Master Chief.” Well, I guess in theory there could be one, but that wouldn’t be much fun, right? In any case, check out these paintings of the italian plumber and his cohorts…some of them are quite lovely.
