He sells commissioned consoles, bearing the theme of the purchaser’s choice. Want a Hello Kitty 360? Done! A Disgaea DualShock? Done!
We’re interested, though, in his retro consoles, adding a touch of modern flair to ancient consumer hardware. The bolder ones are pretty eye-catching, but there’s something about that gold SNES and Sonic Genesis that just does it for me.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 9:11 AMThere’s potential there, but a lot of the artwork is really sloppy. (e.g. the Zelda logo on the green, black and gold SNES looks like they didn’t have the stencil stuck down properly and got some overspray).
I wouldn’t put money down for any of these as they are.

If that Sonic one were done right I would rock the crap out of it.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 10:00 AMI’m not familiar with the film (I just did a quick google) but I think that’s the worst one here – to me it looks like something a bored kid would do in class!
(I can see where the art style influence is from, but the use of texta really kills it for me).

Just for clarity – Google should have showed it to you by now – I was talking about My Neighbour Totoro.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 11:57 AMHaha yeah I wasn’t very clear in my reply – I found some pictures of it, so I can see what Bleeding Violin was going for, but I really don’t think they pulled it off.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 9:50 AMOkay, so it wasn’t 1994, but what about this one from 2000?

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 10:36 AMThe face side of the N64 pad looks pretty cool. Odd colour combinations across the board though..
