The Land of OF

An original series of illustrations created for Industry Giants 2024

1-1

I started this during quarantine. With my personal drive lower than it has ever been, I reached out for something familiar and nostalgic.

I love video games and that foundation was fully formed and cemented by the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). This Project is about the first memories and some times only memories of games that I had an experience with as a child. I chose the collectible card format as another nod to my childhood. The core challenge was to distill the opening areas of as many videogames as I could into a small simple image reflecting my memories and also mimicking the limited color palette of the NES. I then decided to actually make them a deck of cards.
