Multiplayer x2

On February 10, 2012, Gallery 1988: Melrose will be hosting Multiplayer x2, an art show tribute to classic video games of the 80s and 90s. Here's my contribution to the show:

The title is "Everybody's got plans until they get hit", named after a famous Mike Tyson quote. The title felt appropriate since one uppercut from him in Mike Tyson's Punchout would knockout you out. That in my opinion makes him one of the best final bosses of any video game. I drew him partly as he was back then (at his professional peak) and partly as he looks today as a reminder of all the "hits" his life took since that time. It's a 11x14in, 8 color screen print on French Paper - Berrylicious, an editon of 60.
