You know the awesome t-shirt drawn by the i am 8-bit guys and was inspired by Mega Man 9? If you do, you can now pre-order it from Capcom. The shirt will set you back $24.99, but if you consider yourself a ‘hardcore‘ gamer, its well worth it.

Scott Campbell is one of the more famous artist from the i am 8-bit show. For those who are unfamiliar with the gathering, it has become an annual exhibition held in Los Angeles with an art gallery geared towards retro gaming. Tomorrow marks the forth year of the shows existence and Mr.Campbell gave us a preview of what he’s showing.
Check out the first pic up top. It’s labeled; ‘Great Showdowns (of the 8-bit era)’. Their very simple, yet very creative pictures of old video game stars, but looking right at their video game counter-parts, that made their battles so epic when we were growing up. My personal favorites are the ‘frogger staring at the log,’ the ‘double dragon kick,’ and my absolutely favorite one; ‘Tetris looking where the next piece should fit‘. Click on it to see a larger version.
After the break, you can see more of his art.
