I’m Going to Hollywood
I’m happy to say that I’ll have two canvases hanging in the I AM 8-Bit show this year. Further, I was really, ridiculously humbled and happy to see my name appear in the billing on the press releases. I’m lucky enough to be sitting next to a heap of names I really admire. If you’re going to be in Los Angeles on August 14th, I’d like to see you! It’s supposed to be a crazily packed, awesome show.
I don’t want to show my piece beforehand (unless they use it to promote the show, which I guess is a possibility and would be fine with me). So, with that in mind, here’s a detail shot as a teaser.
Finally, here are the details on the show:

Yes Earthworm Jim seriously my favorite game. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid. I haven’t played it in awhile though, need to get on that. Can’t wait to see the finished piece it looks great!

Very cool Ray. Someday soon my son is going to take that Red Robot that you did for us to school for show and tell, and everyone will be excited that he has an early Ray Frenden.
