Have a question, I have a friend who is a awesome artist. He does this stuff on the side in his spare time. He was looking at doing arcade stuff for game rooms etc.

What would be something you would be interested in having done? He paints it all on canvas and do do smaller to large scale projects.

He's gonna do a test run and see if he thinks it will work as he's looking to either trade for games or straight cash.

Thoughts?
 
I was just looking through side art the other day thinking about doing the same thing. I was an art major though so I can do it myself, not sure if others would be more interested in buying. Sorry not much of a help.
 
artwork that can hang in the 'cade that I'd like to see:

1. Some sort of classics compilation poster art. Typical characters that we'd see on generic multicade art. However, rather than just painting them as their regular art style, have your buddy paint them in some sort of washed-over, Frank-miller, gritty style look. Possibly some sort of monochromatic paint scheme.

2. Dragon's Lair's Dirk and Space Ace's Dexter doing something cool together. I'm not sure what though. Let your buddy get creative. Have them arm-wrestling over a cocktail arcade machine? Maybe have them rollin' in a caddy or soemthing, who knows?

3. TRON. Anything TRON. If he can nail down the right style and use of graphics, themes, and characters he could make a fortune hear on KLOV.
 
Yeah good call Mod. I wish someone would get a copy and repro that one. Always thought it was cool and would like to have a copy.

Or even a better image:

any update on this? Is your buddy still planning on making anything for the fiends over here?
 
How about a series where each picture contains a famous character playing their own arcade game? Ms. Pacman playing a Ms. Pac, Mario playing Donkey Kong, etc.

THAT would be cool.
 
How about, Instead of the dogs sitting around playing poker.. they could be in a row playing 5 different arcades standing on their hind legs and the poker table behind them with scattered chips and cards on it.. sort of a 3 quarter overhead room view.

Why not just substitute the dogs for arcade characters and perhaps make the poker table an 8 way Demolition Derby cabinet?
 
Or how about 4 arcade characters crowding around a warlords cocktail, money on deck with some spectator arcade characters holding cash and rooting them on in the background?
 
Dek, what's the word from your buddy? Will we be seeing some cool posters/ paintings soon?

I'm beginning to kick around the idea of just creating some of my own posters if he doesn't get around to it.
