8-Bit Screening In Texas, Artists Sought

Not that I've seen it, but 8-Bit, Marcin Ramocki and Justin Strawhand's documentary about gaming culture, looks real good. And if you live in, near or fancy a trip to Austin, Texas, it'll be screening there on the 19th and 27th of March. Which is good news. But, hey, want some BETTER NEWS?

The screenings are being sponsored by AICN, who have lined up a pretty frikkin' sweet contest for their readers/our readers/anyone, really. To get in on it, you need to whip up a gaming-inspired painting. Submit one that wins and you win a prize.

The prize?

There will be five prizes given away to the five coolest pieces I receive. Those five winners will receive a copy of I Am 8-Bit along with a limited edition shirt and a copy of Tree Wave's album Cabana Ep+.

Here's the coolest part. After talking with Jon Gibson, the curator of I Am 8-Bit, I've managed to convince him to take a look at the top entries for possible inclusion in his next I Am 8-Bit show in Los Angeles. Have you ever wanted your art hanging in a gallery? Here is your big chance. Send in that lifelike Mario painting and we'll get something rolling.


Can't paint? You're fresh out of luck. The deadline for submissions is March 15 - hit the AICN link below for more info.
