It's that time of year again! The annual GAAM (Games Art and Music) Event is happening on August 12, 2017 at The Museum in Jacksonville, Florida.
What Is GAAM?
GAAM is Games Art And Music. GAAM’s current goal is the GAAM Show. A Games Art And Music Show that will raise money for Child’s Play, and help spread awareness and acceptance of gaming’s impact on our culture, the warmth they give our childhoods, and the creative spark it gives our adulthood. Gaming is the meeting of art and technology, and this show recognizes and appreciates that.
Last year I was a little ambitious being the theme was VS. and having more than one figure per art piece I ended up making two. I am hoping this year that I can continue to grow in my art collaboration with my daughter. (I involve her every year so as to proctor her art interests early.)
Here is a look at the work from last year. I chose two of my favorite fighting games as reference: Rival Schools VS. Street Fighter.
