Video Games ARE Art!
Just a few weeks ago, I mentioned the possibility of teaching a video game design workshop for my art students. A parent who overheard asked “What do video games have to do with art?” Fortunately, there was another parent there to remind her, “Even video games come from somewhere.”
Thankfully, Giant Robot doesn’t need a reminder:
In conjunction with the Attract Mode videogame culture shop, Giant Robot is proud to host Game Night, a new event that will take place at GR2 every two months. Each evening will feature a different developer and its games in a relaxed, community-building setting
For Game Night 2, Giant Robot is pleased to present artist Bryan Lee O’Malley, who will be celebrating the sixth and final installment of his Scott Pilgrim comic-book saga and playing the brand new Scott Pilgrim video game (published by Ubisoft with art direction by Paul Robertson and music by Anamanaguchi).
For a future game night, I recommend James Kochalka and Pixeljam’s Glorkian Warrior!

That looks absolutely amazing, I only wish I could go! I adore the old-school pixel style they’ve gone with for the Scoot Pilgrim game. Hopefully events like these will help promote video games as a source of inspiration for illustrators, because there are so many wonderful ones out there.
