You know what I'd do if my husband and I ever won the lottery? Well, besides retire and buy my family and closest friends anything they want (hey, we'd only buy tickets for one of those "mega" lotteries), I'd use a chunk of my portion of the winnings to buy a second home and fill it with all of my games and game systems.
Oh, and I'd cover its walls with game-related art. In fact, I think I'd have to devote an entire room to the console-centric pieces recently created (and shared on Flickr) by Aaron Kraten.
For instance, there's this PC Engine painting (technically it's "mixed media" on wood):
And there's this NES painting, too:
Kraten's also produced similar pieces that focus on the Sega Genesis and the SNES.
Sadly, it's unlikely the hubs and I will win the lottery anytime soon, so my little "game house" will have to reside in my head for now. Oh, well, at least I can check out Kraten's Flickr photostream whenever I want.

GameBoy collage on masonite
The folks at Nintendo sure know how to design a slick piece of hardware, don't they? Case in point: The original GameBoy.
Honestly, I think it's the most attractive piece of portable hardware the company has ever created. The original GameBoy's only competitors, in my opinion: The DSlite
and the DSi
.
I'm guessing artist Laura Kelly is of a similar opinion, as the following collage--titled "Game On"--is the only one in her rather extensive portfolio that was inspired by a game system.
To see more of Kelly's art, pay a visit to her Flickr photostream or her website, lauralkelly.com.
