Super Keyboard Cat Bros.

June 15, 2009

Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat! is a website that catalogs many of the “Keyboard Cat” videos that can be found on the internet. If you’re unfamiliar, these videos typically follow a ridiculously embarrassing, depressing, or otherwise awkward video with a cat “playing it off” on the piano. I suggest you watch this one first and then check out some of the others on the site. I recently teamed up with chip musician Doctor Octoroc to create an 8-bit version of the popular internet meme. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for a future video.

EDIT: The video has since been featured on numerous blogs and podcasts, including G4 TV’s Attack of the Show. Thanks to everyone who made the video so popular!

8-Bit Jesus

December 20, 2008

8-Bit Jesus

I mentioned in my last post that I was designing the packaging for a holiday album by chip music artist Doctor Octoroc. Above is the new cover, and you can download the full album for free (donations encouraged) from his website. I am also providing them for download here as his site has been crashing from all the traffic.

If you do download it from me, and enjoy it, please consider donating to him. His Welsh Corgi puppy Ein needs to have expensive surgery. The only thing worse than making the baby Jesus cry is…

Ein

Okay, guilt trip over. But, if you grew up on old school Nintendo games like I did, you will absolutely love this album. Each track brilliantly marries a classic Christmas carol with the musical style of a specific classic video game (even the non-geek will hear the Super Mario influence in the track “Super Jingle Bros.“).
