Fresh Take: Fallout Monopoly
This is a gift for my boyfriend. I spend a lot of time making the board and all cards in the Fallout style... The board was printed on a 50 x 50 cm PVC plate. Every street is a location from the Fallout game. "GO" is now "G.O.A.T." and "free parking" is the "please stand by" screen. You can find the complete board here.
Every card has one of the Fallout3 or Fallout New Vegas perks on it and has a really cool old playing card image on the back. You can find examples for the red cardset here and the blue cardset here.
Posters: Twenty-Five Years Of Mario Dying
25 Years Of Dying by TheBourgyman
So as you know, Mario celebrated his 25th year among us sometime in late 2010 (even though he was actually created 4 years earlier for the arcade game Donkey Kong... 25 years of independence would be more appropriate, haha, but I digress). I wanted to do something big for the occasion, but I technically missed the boat by a few months. Technically, but not practically, because well, Mario didn't turn 26 just yet.
So this poster-like illustration is my official tribute to him for the occasion. 25 years of video gaming, 25 years of dying in all sorts of crazy ways. I didn't cover everything of course, but the most important is there. If I get enough ideas for a 2nd part, I might just as well do a second one (hint hint, guys).
Yup, there's a BIT of blood here and there (hard to spot though, I actually painted it black, haha). So to those who might be offended by the picture, I ask you: how the hell have you been able to play Mario games this far??? There's some seriously violent deaths in these games when you think of it...

Video: In-Game Portal 2 Proposal
Gary wanted to ask his lady to marry him, but instead of doing it over a fancy dinner or at the beach, he hired a pair of Portal level designers to make a custom game map to get the job dome. Now that's thinking with Portals! He even got Ellen McLain to reprise her role as the voice of GLaDOS.

Sculpture: Game Over
My sculpture "Game Over" shows dying Mario in Princess Peach arms. Made from polystyrene foam.Carved from a large block of polystyrene foam, Lewandowski's work "Game Over" is new take on Michelangelo's La Pietá, a marble masterpiece that resides in St. Peter's Basilica. The sculpture depicts Mary cradling Jesus in her lap after his crucifixion. Lewandowski poses Princess Peach as Mary and Mario as Jesus to drive home the point about the true meaning of "game over."

Link Round-Up: August 15, 2011
I created Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (traslated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) a sprawling exploration of the evolutionary biology of the 200 most important species from the Legend of Zelda video game series. Complete with binomial Latin names (Zora Bellator and Zora Fluvialis share a common ancestor with the more peaceful species Zora Sapien, for example), the brancehs of the Deku tree trace the evolution of each species over millions of years. Forks in the branches indicate an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.56 Different Types of Geek
