Double Dash!
I'm not sure why, but I've always been drawn to Super Mario games. From the first time I played Super Mario Bros.3, to my wife and I's addiction to Mario Tennis, on to Mario Golf and later Super Mario Strikers... the list just goes on and on. I dunno the games are always so much FUN... not too complicated (well obviously if a guy like me can follow along)... and just challenging enough. Well to make a long story short, I picked up Double Dash not too long ago and absolutely loved the game! I play it whenever I get stuck on a piece or just need a second to step away and come back with a fresh eye. If you own a game cube, I highly recommend giving this title a try. It really is a perfect fit for those easliy confused, gaming confounded big kids out there who are too darn stubborn to grow up.... wha... I'm alone on this one.... 'sigh'... okay.. okay... it's the perfect fit for this easily confused, gaming confounded big kid. Anyway, this piece is a result of all the hours of getting my slow butt kicked by Wario, Bowser, Peach, and the rest....Hope it turned out okay.

I agree. There's just something about these glorified plumbers. That's so funny you mentioned this, I actually have been playing Super Mario World (that came with my SNES)with my bro-in-law who's 13. He missed the Mario wave and is just now getting into it.
I've got to show him this piece. He'll love it! Mamamia!!
Miah, this is great. I love your take on the Bros. I 'm with you on the game challenged issue. I like it but its gotta be easy and fun. If there's special moves of secret codes I'm lost. Have a great day.

Oh man, those are seriously one of my favorite brother pairings! I've said it before, and heck, I'll say it again, I love your style! Was this done in Illustrator?
Beautiful Mario Bros. art. The original Mario Bros. arcade game is my favorite. Do you remember the one with just the 2 brothers on some pipes? I would play it at "Aladdin's Castle" arcade. The day the game came out on the atari 2600 was one of the best days of my life!
Holy crap dude, this is freakin awesome!!!
YEAH! Love those little mustachioed plumbers. Lunchtime MARIO KART 64 tournaments is what really made the original PPG series. (Only got in a little DOUBLE DASH in the last season) Awesome!
When MARIO GALAXIES comes out on the Wii, we're all screwed.
Oh this is so cool! Love double dash too. Hooray for super mario games! And hooray for Miah!
that's really funny!

Your work is just amazing...I love the use of shapes, awesome expressions, and high energy in your work!:)
Yeah, really sweet picture!
This is great Miah,
I can't say that I've played the game but I'll try to check it out now. I really love the painterly style you managed on this one. I love the hints of cool colors you put into the warms. Awesome stuff! You never cease to amaze Sir.
Word to your Babys Momma,....
and your babies as well.
i love you sooooo much.--Rob

Nintendo characters are the best! Hopefully I can get a hold of a Wii by Xmas. You should try MarioKart DS!
Mario 3 is the greatest Mario game of all time.
That's freakin' adorable. Especially their beards!!
I love your work. I`m not sure how I got to your blog, I just made my way through a bunch of art blogs. I like what I see though. Just wanted to tell you that I added you to my blog roll. I have a blog about art and how it can make a difference for God in this world. God bless and happy new year.

Awesome rendition of the Mario Bros! Mario Kart was always my personal favourite game of that franchise. Mario Kart 64 that is!
