Super iam8bit debuts Los Angeles gallery space, begins monthlong art show

@trinica

But isn't that the crux of the hipster aesthetic?

@babyseatuna

Ha, it is. Not to mention all of the mediocre screenplays they've written and have never been bought by a single studio, therefore making the studio execs totally blunt to understanding true, indie art. But it's okay, they're dream of making it to Paris will come in due time...

@baby sea tuna

I'm still waiting to see how the new issue of Juxtapoz wants me to answer that.

@trinica I have to agree, especially for the picture used as the front image. "Modern art" is such a joke. Though I did think picture 36 looked cool.

@stafa

Sweet Lets Check out some of your work!

@baby sea tuna I was in love with that too, but then came pic 35! I need that!

Whoah whoah whoah

Who said these artist didn't grow up playing this stuff too?

How exactly do you see gamers? Gamers come from all walks of life. So these artist love to draw shit they like, If they add their own take so be it.

You also shouldn't hate on People getting a chance to show their art and as well as what they love.

Also on a side note, hipsters don't always equal artist and visa versa. You people really need to stop generalizing shit.

@Therion "But, what do I know?"

Clearly not very much.

@Dog Dawg Truth. I like a lot of the takes on some of these series. Though I'll agree that the headline pic for this story was ill-picked (There were a lot more amongst the 64 pics taken that encapsulate what this - and the past shows - are/were comprised of, better) even those pics aren't hideous. People bandy about the word hipster too much nowadays. Really, very little of this is anything that I'd call true hipsterdom. They may be like, pretentious arthouse kids or whatever, but honestly, most of this stuff smacks of effort too much to be labeled "hispter".

That said, I love a lot of the "interpretations" of older series that I grew up with, there seems to be a lot of creativity present, and a personal touch to a lot of stuff (especially a lot of the 2-D paintings/drawings). I especially enjoyed the Ice Climber painting in the preview from last week, and #61, the arcade hodgepodge with "Rise From Your Grave" in the middle. The Eggplant Wizard sculpture in #51 is awesome, too.

As far as your comment about generalizing shit, I've just chalked it up to gamers being gamers. Check out @PandoTeam's comment, and that pretty much sums it up, imo. People that consume shit feel somehow entitled to bag on everything, and gamers seem like especially rude little babies about things that are outside of their predefined box.

@Yatagarasu Thanks - glad you liked Rise From Your Grave.

@PandoTeam

Are you new to the internet, or something?

@PandoTeam You don't need an answer to that, because you've already explained it. People who do nothing but consume seem to feel entitled to bag on everything, and gamers especially, seem to be malcontentious.

"Triptych is a very obscure word. You've probably never heard of it."

@Prince David Yeah, isn't that the truth. They should've used a pic of the Ice Climber painting that they used in the preview earlier in the week (or last week, I can't remember), I loved that. Or perhaps the 3-D/2-D Zelda 1 sculptures. =)

Ironic use of "you people" ftw.
