I’ve run across a random selection of Mario-related art and cool stuff in my interweb travels and thought it would be a shame not to share it.  Here’s 5:

1. Man in a white tuxedo scores Super Mario Bros. with a violin.

I love it.  I love how he manages to get most of the sound effects and everything.  And he’s in a white tux.

2. “Bit and Run”

“bit and run” — Mario’s Ladder from Cory Godbey on Vimeo.

I’m not entirely sure what’s happening here but I like it.  Maybe it’s the animation or maybe it’s the music.  I just think it’s beautiful.

3. Historical Reconstitution Threadless Tee

I love threadless and I love this t-shirt.  Designed by Vincent Bocognani, this t-shirt shows a medieval ”Mario” and Princess on a pretty fierce looking Yoshi-like dinosaur.  It’s beautiful way to say that you’re a gamer, I say.  Go get: Historical Reconstitution.

4. Seven Marios Made From Common Household Objects

Behold! Toast Mario!  Seven Marios Made From Common Household Objects

5. Super Mario Land Rap

8-Bit Duane lays down some ridiculous rhymes about that old black and white Gameboy game.  What IS a lion doing in that game?
[Ed. Note - 8-Bit Duane used to be a member of the super group The Adventures of Duane and Brand0. Their work appears regularly as one of the many opening songs used on Bonus Level Radio.]

I thought I post the original picture from which my header graphic came from!
