These paintings are amazing! I actually had the same idea for a project and wanted to commission a piece, and doing a search for "atari commission painting" brought up your page first. Pretty rad. Well, I may still do it someday but now I know I won't be the first. :) cheers! Hey guys. These paintings are amazing!

Great idea, and flawlessly executed. I'm blown away. The 1982 magazine ad is completely convincing. Well, actually, it's all completely convincing. Great job Lukas, you nailed that box art.

This is absolutely awesome... such splendid memories! That exact issue of Electronic Games that you used happens to be the one copy of that magazine that I still have lying around somewhere (can't remember the date but it definitely had Miner 2049'er on the cover discovering some treasure). :) Oh, and while I probably won't buy a picture or box, I would totally buy this in a T-shirt if you guys make something available.

That's essentially the explanation I got when I asked local great Mike Dringenberg (of Sandman fame) how this style was done. I went through a lot of supplies and frustration before finally asking around among some of my more senior peers as to how to get that wonderful bleed, and messy ghosting that's present in the old squiggley montages (I was mainly referring to Joe Ipsom's Atari sports game graphics, which is what the Venture Bros. cover is spoofing as well). There's something very important about training classically with real materials that I had to find on my own because my art school didn't teach much of it. Believe it or not, a good portion of these were painted digitally, but it wouldn't have turned out the same without the technique grounded in real materials. Thanks to all of you for the kind words :) Thanks Jonathan! That’s essentially the explanation I got when I asked local great Mike Dringenberg (of Sandman fame) how this style was done.
