how long would arcade sticks be displayed?

3

I will talk to anyone I know who I think would be interested in this.

Be sure to talk to Josh (MessatuOrochi) as I know he has a friend who does SF artwork.

Nate (XTG) also has an artist friend who I think does SF work.

4

arcade sticks I would leave up to the owner, I know it’s a lot to ask especially if it was someones main/only stick. though i would like to have one or two on display for the full run of the show (1 month). i’m talking to a couple friends that are local builders about making something specifically for the show.

they will be displayed in locked plexi display cases that sit on top of pedestals.

Ian Cofino is on board for a showing of I Got Next.

in other news. I’d really like to get out and meet some of you guys in person. when it gets closer to show time I could definitely use some help in the running of the tournament, logistics, ect.

expect to see a lot more of me at GW and spectating at NWM. i’m pretty easy to spot, super tall, skinny as hell, and lots of tattoos, just look for the atari joystick on my right forearm.

5

I’ll try to participate in this in some way. Cool idea.

6

I havent drawnded anything in years, but I think this is a cool idea. Not too sure if i still have it in me though.

7

hope he doesn’t mind, but hit up h.duke, i saw some of his shit, and i must say i like it! haha

8

wow this would be awesome and its in the international district thats wassup!

9

he’s already PM’d me.

10

Can I showcase my brothers art? I have a lot of his sf themed art at my house in his binder…

How many pieces would you want to showcase if you want it? And there are some xmen pictures (inspired from mvc2). Would those be allowed as well?

11

^^defiantly. can you or your brother get me scans or digital images of the pieces? my email is in the OP.

SF themes are not a requirement by any means, and this will not be a SFIV only event, though I do plan on leveraging the popularity that SFIV has brought to the fighting game genre/scene to help promote the show evil laugh

one of the major themes I want to explore is community, something that was a very large part of my life as a kid hanging out in arcades, and later as an artists hanging out in coffee shops and bars. some of the best conversations I’ve had in my life sprung from talking about a game or a piece of art, some of the closest people to me today I know because of gaming and art.

I get a lot of strange looks from my artists friends when I go off on a tangent talking about how beautiful I find games as an art form. and how great it is that these same games can bring people from all walks of life together. i’m hoping to quash some of the stigma that is associated games and gamers with this show. probably no hope for the halo kids, but thats not my problem.

12

Yes halo kids can’t be saved…I have some of his stuff up on my facebbok, and myspace page if you want to take a peek.

13

Frank -

have him gather like 10 or so of his best/favorite pieces and submit them to me at happystickperson@gmail.com by 10/31/2009.

I’d also like to take a minute to thank everyone for their support. in less then 24 hours my inbox is already being bombarded by interested people, not only from seattle but all over.

get HYPE!!!

this event is going to be the awesome.

14

This…is…SICK…Seattle Versus, where you at?

…SICK…

15

trust me when it gets closer to show time I will probably be begging all of you for help.

showing up drinking beer and breaking faces would be help enough.

16

I’m tempted to put together an idea I have rolling around in my head. =\

17

is it cosplay preppy!? I call Sawada

18

Nah, painting, actually.

19

Preppy - I would be honored…

even though I don’t know you, believe me from a newcomers standpoint your name rings out. and I’d love to see your work.
