Bullet Time Bill

He is 'The One'

Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think those are mushrooms eating now?

Bullet Bill is one of the (many) horrible, inexorable, really annoying enemies in Mario Bros. While you try and repeatedly dodge them, die and restart it makes you wonder if there is a better way. That's when it struck me that Neo had a much better way. If there is anyone who should be an equal to Neo when it comes to manipulating a computer simulated world, it really has to be Mario. He has been through just about every type of game you can think of by now. The plucky plumber really should have learned some ways to cheat the system. And while he's at it, you think he would get a better look going on!

Available from Redbubble and Society6 on all kinds of nice stuff. Check out the Doodle Dojo Store for more info.

Game Over

Just when it was getting good.

I thought I'd have another go at videogames this time around. Sticking with the classics, I've doodled an interpretation of the ultimate game of snake. So simple and so addictive. It's probably impossible to get yourself into a situation like this in the game but its quite easy to imagine it so I thought I would draw it anyway. I quite like the way it has almost turned itself into an abstract pattern. Pretty pleased with the final result and I learned a thing or two about tiling an repeating patterns. Can't be a bad result!

This one is (of course!) up on Redbubble on T-shirts and stickers and also on Society6 as prints and iPhone skins and other cool stuff. Find the details on the Doodle Dojo Store.

Revenge of the Frogs

One day the frogs will get their own back, just wait and see.

Back in the very early 80's one frog was getting a really bad deal out of these newfangled video games. Its been a long time coming, but now he has some genetically mutated friends on his side, its time to get revenge. Why don't you try getting across the road and see how much you like it huh?

I don't really know why I was thinking about old school video games. But when I thought about turning one of them on its head I just knew it would make a fun picture. All I needed then was the right frog (or perhaps the right collection of frogs). What more can I say about this one?

Oh I know, its on Society6 and Redbubble as usual, check the Doodle Dojo Store for all the details.
