8-Bit Terrariums
February 20, 2011Game Over IV is an upcoming show at Giant Robot San Francisco that pays homage to the continuous evolution of videogames and their massive influence on popular culture. The impact and inspiration of videogames will be represented through a wide assortment of styles and genres provided by top artists in the fields of illustration, painting, sewing, indie comics, and videogames. Some of my favorite artists are among those to be featured, including Jeffrey Brown, David Horvath, and Matt Furie.
For my contribution to the exhibition, I created this series of 8-bit terrariums. I am actually a bit of a terrarium enthusiast myself, so this idea sort of evolved naturally from that interest. I actually see a lot of similarities between video games and terrariums; they are both closed systems that seek to nurture and sustain an entire world within a small viewing space. And I get equal enjoyment out of interacting and watching both.
Prints can be purchase from my shop, and at the gallery.
Toadstool Terrarium
11.75″ x 15.75″
Hyrule Terrarium
7.75″ x 9.75″
Some of my own terrariums after the jump.
The one on the left contains an Artillery Fern and a Joseph’s Coat. The one on the right is a Maidenhair Fern.
Princess Pine. Not to be confused with Princess Toadstool.
Tillandsia, also known as an airplant. These are cool because they don’t need any soil to grow.

Si hace apenas cuatro meses vimos como despiezaba a seis personajes por todos conocidos, ahora nos sorprende con un nuevo trabajo que formará parte de la Game Over IV, una exposición colectiva en la que ser rinde homenaje a los videojuegos y se incide en su influencia en la cultura popular. Estamos ante una colección de tres ilustraciones formada por terrarios de 8-bit ya que, según su autor, existen un gran número de similitudes entre estos pequeños invernaderos y los videojuegos, ambos son espacios cerrados en cuyo interior se recrean las condiciones necesarias para que sea posible la vida, al tiempo que en los dos casos es imprescindible la interacción para su pleno desarrollo y disfrute. Es evidente que el talento creativo de Jude no conoce límites, a los hechos me remito. […]
