Geek Art: Video Game Minimalism

December 16, 2009 in Art,Video Games with 3 Comments

The blogger / artist behind the site Infinite Continues is a mystery. I know he’s from the UK (London) and I know he loves video games… but that’s about it. I also know that he’s absolutely awesome at both, judging by his excellent Video Game Minimalism art, currently live on his Flickr page.

Infinite Continues calls the series Video Game Minimalism, and that its “an exploration of how a few key shapes from well-loved characters are instantly recognizable even when reduced to these simple forms.” Too true, IC. Too true.

Anyhow, check out the entire gallery here on Flickr. Truly outstanding. These belong printed out on 8x10s, and placed inside chunky Ikea frames. Tim knows what I’m talking about.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.

    Thank you for the link Eric. I assure you, I’m not really much of a mystery ;) If there’s anything you’d like to know, just ask :)

    I’m alerting people to updates on this set via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/infinitecontinu
