Although he is capable of anything, Jude Buffam has become famous for his nostalgic artwork. Many of his masterpieces are inspired by classic games, such as the original Final Fantasy games, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, or Castlevania. He also represents classic pop culture with scenes from movies and old commercials.

Some of his artwork is humorous, and some is simply lovely, but it all seems to have a pixilated retro appeal. His work, Minus World, will be auctioned off for the UNICEF charity to benefit child victims of the earthquake in Japan. It is currently part of the Giant Robot’s “Water Works” exhibition.

The Super Mario inspired scene was originally intended as a fundraiser for clean water in Vietnam, and its watery theme may be misconstrued by some. Buffam wants to be clear that no ill will or humor about the tsunami was intended in his art.

The piece will be displayed from March 19, 2011 until April 13. View some of his other work here or read more.
