EXAM: Aaron Jasinski (Possible Artist)

Aaron Jasinski's paintings have shown across the US, and internationally. He also illustrates children's books, album covers, and creates electronic music. Aaron grew up in in a family of musicians and the love of music is a major influence in his visual art. His paintings often features musical, pop-culture, and nostalgic references peppered with social commentary and whimsical creatures (think morose hipsters mingling with monkeys in space suits), utilizing a Technicolor palette. Aaron resides near Seattle Washington with his wife and 4 children. (http://www.aaronjasinski.com/#!about/c10fk)

Throne of Games

Donkey Kong was one of the first video games I played as a little kid. The DK machine ate our quarters down the block at the corner market along with Pac-Man and Centipede. Super Mario Brothers was THE game to play when i was in Jr. High School. Mario 25+ years later Mario is still going strong. In my mind he defines the video game experience. He's the king.
