Jenn & Bueno: Joysticks

Here we have some retro gaming with Jenn & Bueno! Jenn's pose was taken from a photo reference used in a Drawing Jam on the Drawing Board. As usual, I had to take the idea and turn it into something for this duo. Enjoy!

Excellent retro room styling, with the paneling and golden shag carpet.

The joysticks look like the ones I had for my Commodore 64, but it didn't have cartridges. It had the big floppy disks.

I'm pressing my eyeball against the screen, trying to read the game titles. X-Bert? Dig Dog? What are the other two?

Thank you, Chris! Glad you like the way this one turned out.

The games besides X-Bert and Dig Dog are Meteors and, in a stroke of absolute creative genius...."Ping Pong".

I agree with Chris about the paneling. This could be in my the basement of my childhood home. Also, nice kneesocks. But all in all, I really like this piece. There's something about those simple gaming systems and the joysticks, especially, that make me feel a little carefree, and like a kid again.

Is jennifer in college? How old is she??

Andrew said...

Jenn is roughly college age...somewhere in her early-to-mid twenties. I've never really specified an exact age for her.
