‘i am 8-bit’ paper sculptures by Scott C

I think I like papercraft because it reminds me of paper dolls and junior high love letters.

These lovely paper sculptures by Scott Campbell (of Double Fine!) are perfect little odes to arcade gaming. I have a hunch—and remember, this is only a guess—that these sculptures are part of a larger paper landscape, to be exhibited at the fourth annual i am 8-bit gallery show. As always, the show promises to feature exciting new art with retro sensibilities.

i am 8-bit opens August 14 at the World of Wonder in Hollywood, California.

Incidentally, the Virtual Boy launched on August 14, 1995. I know this because my birthday is August 14.

    Oh my. Those are gorgeous. If I had an inkling of artistic ability, that’s something I’d love to make.
