Pixelart Blocks And Arcade Buildings

On the topic of pixelart, Italian illustrator Totto Renna created this impressive piece, a city populated with familiar video game sprites, a smaller scale version of Gary J Lucken's pixelart poster for Edge susbcribers. Though not as massive as that work, I find this art's concept of living and working inside giant arcade cabinets very charming, a dream I hope to one day see fulfilled.

Titled "Gamecity", the art was featured at Zemo98's Over The Game exhibition last week in Seville, Spain, which sought to showcase "fresh game art, game related video installations, streetart and of course computer games". I included a cropped section of the work below, but you can admire the full piece on Renna's site.
