The focus of this stylish piece isn't a tanooki-suited Mario, by the way; it's a fox-suited Luigi--or whatever the hell it is Mario's main bro turns into when he grabs a Super Leaf power-ip in Super Mario 3D Land.
Why did Brogan devote an entire canvas to the most famous "player two" in all of gaming? Here's what he had to say in a recent blog post:"As a kid I often found myself playing video games as player two, usually either because the other kid was older or because I was (and am) pretty shy and non-assertive. Because of that I still to this day have a fondness for Luigi, the ultimate second player character."
For those who may be interested: Brogan's selling 8-by-10-inch digital prints of this piece via Gallery1988's website for $35 each. (Mounted versions of the print can be picked up here for $55.)

I agree wholeheartedly, Justin! Nice to see him finally getting some recognition this year :)
Love it! Luigi has always been my favorite :)
Oh I love Luigi!
I preordered the retail-version of Super Luigi U and I'm looking forward to Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros..
Ok, to be honest I haven't bought Super Luigi U because of Luigi but because of the limited retail-version but I'm happy that Luigi finally get's his own Jump 'n Run "game" even though it's more an add-on.
I always loved Luigi in the Paper Mario series and in Luigi's Mansion and I would defenetly buy one of this beautiful prints if I had any money left :)
Really? I'm always kind of surprised when I hear people say that. Why is it, by the way? Because he's adorably dorky? Because he's always been the sidekick, in the background?
Hey there, Lizzi! I'm glad he finally got his own platformer, too, although I do hope he'll soon get another starring role that isn't a Luigi's Mansion and isn't a spin-off...
Hm, well as you know I'm not exactly the biggest Mario fan, but I always loved how dorky he was and the way he kicks his legs when he jumps! The goofier the better, I say!
Oh, I can see that. I appreciate his goofiness, too :)
