I hate Twitter, but I should be grateful to it for exposing these 45 completely amazing stylized portraits of Mario and Luigi.

Brandon Boyer from Offworld tweeted the article from The Design Inspiration, which is a site where designers upload and share various works of art and design patterns to inspire each other.

This collection of Mario Bros. portraits looks to have over 30 artists contributing designs. My particular favorites are these two by Anthony Jones — couldn't you just imagine Daniel Day-Lewis and Stanley Tucci modeling for these?
