I made this for my Creative Process class; I go to art school.

My girlfriend helped me get the materials and set it up, so I don't think it really is a vagina-scarer. It's funny how some of you think :o.

Being in art school and all, most girls found it pretty amazing :O

Thanks for all the comments and critiques. Once I finish the mural one, I'll be sure to show you guys.

@pixelator: You can't just congratulate a person for his hard work? Oh right, you're a giant douche.

Impressive, but wouldn't NES cartridges make more sense? Just color them and voila, awesomeness.

It's pretty cool and if it was MegaMan, it'd be cool too.
Sonic = cool
Simon Belmont = cool

Nothing to do with Nintendo.

I love art like this. I myself wanted something like this in my apartment. But I'm too scared to have a child and him or her ruin it. : /

I think my girlfriend and I are going to do an art gallery of tiny pictures in our room instead.

Would've been better if he used Yellow floppies instead of Green ones. Maybe it's just me though.

If you're at the point in a relationship where 'getting laid' comes in, one would hope that you and the person of interest know one another well enough that one wouldn't dismiss the other over a Mario mural, or anything of the sort.

Oh wait. We weren't talking about mature relationships but rather having sex for a one night stand... I get it now.

Somehow, I don't feel bad if a person who sees the opposite sex as his personal penis scabbards remains a virgin. Also, people who make awesome Mario murals out of floppies are very rarely like that - I suspect at least.

it's cool, but how hard is it really to tape a pile of floppies to the wall in a predetermined grid? a full mural would be quite impressive.

3.5 inches x 16 by 16 pixel art = 4' 8" Mario character. If he grabs that super mushroom, he's gonna blow straight though the ceiling.

Grow the hell up, seriously. If a girl will judge you because of your hobbies/interests, then she isn't worth your time anyways. If you're seriously that desperate to get laid, just do everyone a favor, get a hooker, and STFU.

@sadkermit: I think the term "vagina repellent" is more likely to put off ladies than a rather well done Mario floppy disk mural. Seriously.

It's sad how imagination and craftiness are known as "too much free time" for some people.

@pixelator: I wouldn't say it's nintendo worship. He could have picked sprite really to do this craft with. I'd say that most people would pick an iconic sprite such as SMB1 Mario. Everyone knows who it is and what it's from. I mean, that game alone ushered in a new era of gaming.

I say good stuff and I tip my hat to you sir ^_^

pixelator — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 06:28:15 MDT

I don't get the Nintendo worship. What's interesting about this? The only Ninty system to ever use them was (sort of) the Famicom - and those weren't even really standard floppy discs, anyway.

People with far too much time (and weed) on their hands amuse their fellow Nintendo fanboys, I guess.

Neat idea... So we've had cross stitch, beads, bricks and tiles... what other square things can we make pixel art from?
