Raised By Rainbows: Adorable Pop Culture Art

April 8, 2019 By ausretrogamer

Oh man, wish we had seen Luke Flowers’ brilliant Raised by Rainbows exhibit earlier!

Luke’s exhibit at Gallery 1988 has a number of cool arcade games and other popular toys related art which is very unique and absolutely adorable.

Most art pieces are sold out (Ed: darn it!), but there are a few that you can still get your hands on (Ed: looking at you ‘Mario Mayhem’)!

You got to admit, these are quite cool. Picking a favourite seems impossible!

For more details of available art to be purchased, please check out the entire Raised by Rainbows exhibit at Gallery 1988.

Patti Lapel: Awesome Retro Pins

April 14, 2016 By Ms. ausretrogamer

Jensen Karp‘s Patti Lapel sells awesome retro pins among other weird things (check out the Ian Ziering/Led Zepplin mashup T-shirt for example). The latest pins include a N64 GoldenEye cart and a NES Game Genie.

And there’s plenty more – you’d better buy some more jackets because you’re going to start running out of lapel space!
