The fourth annual i AM 8-BiT exhibit kicks off this Thursday, August 14 with an Opening Night Extravaganza celebrating the nostalgia of videogames through '80s gaming-inspired art.  For the first time, the independent touring art show will be appearing at Hollywood's World of Wonder gallery.

Amanda Visell | One Pill Left | 16" x 20"

The new show will see contributions from a number of noteworthy artists and illustrators including Luke Chueh, Amanda Visell, Joe Ledbetter, Scott Campbell, Ashley Wood, Jose Emroca Flores, Yoskay Yamamoto, Tessar Lo, Joe Vaux, Michelle Valigura, Elizabeth Ito, Gerald de Jesus, Mr. Jago, and Tanner Goldbeck.

Yuta Onoda | Wish Upon A Star | 16" x 24"

Said organizer Jon Gibson, "Mario, Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Sonic are just as iconic as The Beatles to our generation. They are our childhood heroes, our babysitters, our most awesome fantasies - and it's amazing to see how wildly and diversely artists choose to interpret them, because every experience is a personal one."
