In the second Offworld Gallery for the day, we look at the games-inspired pieces by Melbourne artist Ghostpatrol. Above and below are two of his most recent works, from a series called “me playing the video games that changed my life”, both fantastically fragile and delicately rendered — a trait, it turns out that carries through all of his pieces.

Below the fold you’ll find the rest of the “changed my life” series, and a selection of older, Mario, Mega Man and Zelda-inspired pieces from the past several years, all used with permission of the artist and taken from the Ghostpatrol website, where you’ll find even more pop-culture related pieces, including more or less the most adorable He-Men and Skeletors outside of DoubleFine artist Scott C’s own collection.
