ONE SHOT: JUDE BUFFUM’S RIVER CITY FREAKS AND GEEKS
Created for Gallery 1988‘s upcoming Judd Apatow tribute show, I sort of can’t imagine that anything there will best this ‘Smear Weir’ contribution from the oft-featured Jude Buffum, which perfectly mashes up Technos’s classic Super Dodge Ball line with Apatow’s early cult hit show Freaks and Geeks.
See Buffum’s blog for more details & background on the piece, and visit Gallery 1988’s opening for the show Tuesday, December 4th, at 7PM for a chance at grabbing the original.

COINLESS: THE RECESSION HITS THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM
Is the upcoming Autumn Society show going to trump I Am 8-bit and Game Over for the games/art crown? If the submissions keep coming in as strong as we’ve seen so far, it’s got a very good chance. The latest, from our oft-featured Jude Buffum, is “Mushroom Recession” (tying in nicely with this earlier post), is intended to reflect, he says, “the current state of the economy.”
The most interesting part, though, is its double-play on Super Mario Bros. itself, showing what’s actually happening in the pits below the game’s screen.

ONE SHOT: JUDE BUFFUM’S ‘WE ARE ERROR’
Not to go Jude Buffum overload, but as long as he keeps making them, I’ll keep plugging them, as with this: cover art for We Are Error, an album from game music metal cover band Year 200X, a name which Buffum adds is a pun “only the nerdiest of gamers would understand,” but shouldn’t be too hard to suss out.

ONE SHOT: MARIO AND LUIGI, INTO INFINITY
Illustrator Jude Buffum (who you remember for his 8-bit Keyboard Cat) has many more politically powerful illustrations (see: Dick Cheney’s Punch-Out, and War Machine), but the zen-like recursive beauty of his ‘Playered‘ struck me more than the rest. [via Kimiaki Yaegashi’s always wonderful OFP]

VIDEO: 8-BIT KEYBOARD CAT PLAYS MARIO OFF
It had to happen sooner or later, right? I Am 8-bit timelapser Jude Buffum and 8-bit Jesus musician Doctor Octoroc take the meme where we’ve always wanted to see it go. [via Tiff!]

ICH BIN TIMELAPSE: THE INSTALLATION OF I AM 8-BIT’S BERLIN EXHIBIT
In other art/game developments, designer Jude Buffum has uploaded this time-lapse video of the setup at I Am 8 Bit’s Berlin-based exhibit Ich Bin 8 Bit, put together at the Neurotitan gallery as part of the Pictoplasma character design/art conference.
The gist of this show, similar to earlier Giant Robot exhibits, was that all artwork was produced on Post-Its affixed directly to the wall from artists like Jorge R. Gutierrez, Sandra Equihua, Gabe Swarr, Jim Mahfood, My TarPit and Buffum himself.
