8-Bit Champs: Pac-Man
"Dinner Bell at the Bottom of the Food Pyramid"
Here is my full submission to an 8-Bit Video games themed show in PARIS, FRANCE at FLAQ Gallery. This is the first international viewing of my artwork, and I'm really excited.
I made an image themed on PAC_MAN which explains the recent rash of PAC MAN here on the blog. I also tried to change up the type of image I was making. I'm pretty happy with the outcome and see myself making more 8-bit tribute images in the future just for my own entertainment.
Sadly, it wasn't on display for opening night due to some problem with postal papers and foreign Customs... DANG...
However on a happier note, I'm told that the work will be added to the show in when it clears customs... HELL YES!.
I'd like to end by thanking Thomas and Joe in coordination with the Autumn Society for making this event happen and for letting me be involved.. MERCI, and THANK YOU!
As always I hope you dig.

Ninja Gaiden
Hi Autumn Society, my name is Campbell Whyte and this is my Ninja Gaiden for the 8-Bit Champions.
The framing was done by a fantastic local guy who I went to for my last show. He made some amazing colour and shape recommendations, which I think have really brought the illustration to life. If you like this check out my other 8-bit series, 8 Bit Dreams.

I was super excited to be involved in the '8-Bit Champions' show, not only because it's in Paris but also because I chose one of my all time favourite games from my childhood! I didn't have a lot of time to work on it due to work being pretty crazy recently but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out...

Hey fellow gamers/drawers/nerdy-types: here's my submission for the 8-Bit Champs show!
The game I chose was Dragon Quest, or, if you grew up here, Warrior, which was literally my first foray into the realm of RPG's. It was also the first video game I got that wasn't Super Mario Bros., which came bundled with my NES console. And as a bonus, I got it for free with my subscription to Nintendo Power, a subscription which I almost wholeheartedly blame for my current, adult addiction to reading endlessly about videogames.
