Do you like video games? What about cool art? If you answered "yes" to either question and live in Los Angeles, I know what you should be doing tonight. iam8bit is opening their newest gallery show, and it's a videogame-themed art extravaganza featuring the work of a variety of returning and first-time artists inspired by classic 1980’s videogames.
Last night iam8bit held a small preview, and I stopped by as the doors were closing to take pictures of everything on display. As you'll see after the jump, the show is loaded with some great stuff from 80 artists like Mark Englert, Olly Moss, Aled Lewis, DKNG, JC Richard, Phantom City Creative, We Buy Your Kids and many, many more.
If you'd like to go, the show opens tonight at 7pm and runs until June 30th.
