Personally, I think blogs and online journals are kind of goofy. Why do people feel it necessary for the whole internet to know what they ate, or how they feel about that really cute boy/girl they saw at the mall while looking for a trendy shirt at Hot-Topic? (Yes, you read that correctly -- I just made a blatant generalization there.) Anyway, let's face it, the internet doesn't give a crap. It's too busy digging holes, or whatever the internet does.

So, right. This is a little picture I whipped up of Mario and company, al a Super Mario Bros. 2 (Or Super Mario USA, pick your poison.) I really like the total deviation it provides from the rest of the series.

Oh, just in case you were wondering, the reason that all the characters are simply different shades of a base color is my nerdy way of tipping the hat I'm not wearing to all those NES game designers that had absolutely pathetic color palettes to work with while doing game art. I have a HELL of a lot of respect for anyone who can make a identifable, much less likeable, character using like 30 pixels, and 3 colors.

And yeah, I realize I used this description as a bit of blog. This is where you consider me unfathomably witty, and add this picture to your favorites. Go on now, it's not hard.
