Domo Atari-gato! My Latest Art Obsession

*****

You’re in luck.  I’m still looking for a better gallery space.  But, until then, you get a sneak peek…and, boy, is it sneaky, considering how few real people pass through this MySpace…of my latest artistic obsession.  And, when I get obsessed, things explode into gigabytes of gallery space.  But, you just get a little…a tiny taste of it all.  Appreciate.

I’ve got to say…I’m impressed with myself.  What may LOOK like a photograph of an Atari 2600 joystick inserted into these pictures is actually an assembly of rather simple cutouts.  It just looks that close to the actual thing!  [I may yet improve the image by softening shades and highlights.]  But, gosh, it looks real enough to touch.

The images with a particular woman in a reclining pose…came from a photo I stumbled upon some time ago during a search for something clearly unrelated.  I almost thought it was a VIR…  But, luckily, it wasn’t, and it became a key part of this project.  “She” was one muse.  The joystick was the other.

Oh, and, in case you actually wonder, these are only the LOW-REZ versions of the larger posters I plan to eventually display (and sell) as prints.  So, no, they are not the best quality.  But, they may suffice as wallpaper.
