The Creation of Mario

DeviantArt user *TsaoShin re-created the image Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" from the Sistine Chapel with Mario. Playing the role of God is Shigeru Miyamoto, who created the lovable plumber and named him after a landlord who barged in on Nintendo's company meeting demanding an overdue rent.

That is fantastic. A friend of mine, James Hance, just recently used this same theme for an equally superb painting of The Muppets and Jim Henson as God. Worth a look :)

amazing work, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't originally think that was Rosanne instead of Shigeru Miyamoto
