iam8bit Pics

[Now Playing| Polarium - DS]

The retro gaming exhibit iam8bit is on display in LA right now. One of our readers, Tony Mora, snapped some pics for all to see. I really wish something like this would come to Atlanta…maybe I should organize it. Anyway, this looks like a lot of fun. There is some awesome artwork there.

Ive grabbed just a few pics to share with you guys. Head on over to Tony’s Yahoo gallery (you have to have a Yahoo account) to see all 95 hi-res pics.

Here is what Tony had to say about the show:

Got there when it opened and Gallery 1988 was already PACKED. I’m sure having free booze being served by the Suicide Girls helped. My wife and I hung out for an hour and decided to leave to get some air. Seriously, major fire hazard. I heard there were upwards of 800+ rsvps! And that gallery is small. We got back from dinner and you can tell from the pics I took, people waiting outside to get in. Again, I’m thinking art+booze+suicide girls. It was insanity.

Just to let you know who was there in some pics….

Pic 004….Jorge Gutierrez. and Greg Colton… Jorge works with me and Gabe at Disney, Greg is a director on the new Family Guy.

Pic 013……is Gabe Swar with his girl Carla.

Pic 025…..8Bit Weapon.

Pic 029…..Tall dude is Jon Gibson, the curator of the show.

Pic 030…..Katie Rice who had some really great cartoony pieces in the show.

Pic 041…. The very scary Tony Mora. Seriously, I’m trying to lose weight and smile more.

Lots of industry people in animation were there as well as some people from tv.
