Hello everyone out there. This is a sculpture I did for the art show I AM 8BIT
Premiering in LA tonight. The gallery is called Gallery 1988 and is showcasing a huge number of artists showing off their memories and representations of 1980's 8-bit video games. I decided to do mine on TRON. I always loved the way the arcade game would glow. The praying fat child is pretty much representing the zen you feel when playing these games as a kid. So here he is. Thanks for all the great input from friends on this one.

I'll have to go back and look for it. You should mass produce these things, I think everyone could use a tron night-light. Good shit!
