The Eyeball Mural Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Some very nice artworks made from old cartridges, seen on deviantART. I searched but didn't find these in the forums. Did I miss them? Perhaps the creator of these is a member here?

iesposta Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Cool! Luckily I don't have THAT many duplicates. I always wanted to make a wall Space Invader shape cart storage like that one member's avatar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 When I was a kid I built a shelf/stand out of cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlecRob Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 How about a sprite from air raid made from dozens of air raid carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Here's some bigger resolution pics available but clicking the thumbnails: http://redekerplan.deviantart.com/gallery/ I've got mixed feelings about this. People used to make coffee tables out of Mario/Duck Hunt carts. They used to be so common people would throw them away or make art out of them. One guy at nintendoage once confessed to using them for real life skeet shoot practice. They're still very common but now they typically show up at $5 a pop instead of 10c at Funco back in the day. Someone in Japan also once made a throne out of Famicom carts. I mean, it's cool that people make art out of this stuff, but the supplies are limited.

godzillajoe Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I made a coat rack out of old joysticks. I guess I'm not the only one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 All creation is destruction. Everything is limited. That's kind of like saying "Everyone eventually dies, so we might as well kill them now and mount their heads on our walls." Creating art out of dead carts would be fine, but creating art out of carts that still work is 'murder.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I am glad to see Albert finally will soon be making new cart shells a reality so that no game has to "die" anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
