I've been around, I just take long breaks from this board because it's a little slower than I'd like, especially when new Mario news is sparse (which it generally is, sadly). I have a lot of love for that "abstract" Mario tribute too... I really love how creative some of our fellow Mario fans can be.
One of my favorite images ever... I love the chaos, even if Bowser looks completely wrong. Like the official art I posted last time, it perfectly captures the mood of the game, and just bursts with fun.
A weird angle for one of Mario's weirdest experiences. Tweeters still kind of creep me out.
One of my favorite game series meets one of my favorite movie series! I'm surprised there hasn't been a double-jawed piranha plant in one of the games yet...
This might be my favorite piece of fan-art. Piranha plants are some of my favorite baddies, and I especially like fan-art that depict the Mario Bros. as regular guys.
