Today is the deadline for the Atari show at the brink. I started out thinking i would do something in photoshop for this show but after a few weeks in front of the computer i abandoned that idea and returned to what i love, working on paper. My memories of atari are plentiful and range from adventurous to torturous. I remember teaming with my siblings to pick the lock of my parents bedroom where they kept a Sparkletts bottle full of change then going to arcades where they had all the latest atari games. My favorites games were Pong and Ms. Pac Man. My siblings, friends and i would all huddle around the machines and watch one another. I also remember being in a mall all day selling my mothers art from a booth that was set up right next to an arcade. At first i was excited to be next to all my favorite games but after one full day of continuous beeps, wizzes, and blurps i thought i would go crazy. Some of the tunes are permanently engraved in my brain.
I loved Pong. You're doing fantastic work.
