For its cover of this week’s edition (on newsstands today), the Portland Mercury commissioned this painting, an homage to Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks with Donkey Kong creator Shigeru Miyamoto and three characters he introduced to America 30 years ago this week.
The cover highlights a story about GameOn 2.0, a playable history of video games showing now at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. [Thanks Joe W!]
Id love to have that hanging in my house. So good.
I’ve always loved that painting, so noir-ish. 😀
I see your Miyamoto’s and I raise you an anteater!

Checkmate, biatch!
My favorite re-do of Nighthawks is always gonna be the Cowboy Bebop one… it’s perfect
