15 Pictures of Video Game Graffiti, Street Art, and Downright Vandalism

Wed, May 27, 2009

As you may or may not know/care, I’ve been gone for a long time. Life without Internet is a terrible thing. However, rather than doing something more productive with my time, I decided to spend my Internet-less day(s) delving into shitty artwork – I vandalized my backyard with chalk. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my Mario mural in Silicon Valley, California. You can click on the pictures for higher resolutions.

To honor my great piece of work, I’ve decided to post it alongside other forms of video game vandalism. Please enjoy them after the break.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of California, Berkeley upon completing irrationally rigorous levels of Sudoku. In pen. I pride myself in a variety of minor, personal nuances, including my animosity towards wearing pants and my adamant refusal to comb my hair. I have a steady level of accomplishments that strengthen my metaphorical "manhood": (1) I’ve completed Super Mario World in 13 minutes and 26 seconds, (2) I’ve squatted 135 pounds, and (3) I have to omit this pornographic tidbit for "professional" reasons, but you guys know the deal. I also like to cook and clean and my Internet only works in the kitchen.

    I saw this article on sfweekly but since this is your article jamie, I would like to give you all the credit. The little Mario coming out of the pipe is totally original. Something that’ll make you feel that you’re living the game.

    We have Mario Bros. Q-Bert and King Kong here. My personal favorite would be Graffiti involving the character of Mask (Jim Carrey).

    Life can be like a “Funny face from Graffiti.”
