These pics got a story behind.

At the end of 2009 I was tasked by the (now defunct) agency I was working for to create some artwork with Mario characters. Nintendo was a customer for which we did advertising online for every game, so proposing something different seemed a viable thing to do.

I don’t know if the project ever got greenlighted by Nintendo, we were kept in the dark as much as possible by management. (my guess is NO)

Anyway I did a great deal of artwork involving the characters in everyday life often in real-world settings (Peach acting cool, Mario playing at the arcade, Mario and Peach at sea) before being moved on some other more urgent project. I never asked, they never told, and eventually all the art ended in backup drive, forgotten for years…

They had not been seen together in the museum galleries for quite a while. Monet’s “Women with Umbrellas” are once again side by side in the Impressionist gallery.
