Steve Casino, whose work we’ve profiled here on BD in the past, continues to be one of the most creative artists on the horror scene, constantly posting fun new creations over on Instagram (@SteveCasino). Casino is probably best known for turning peanut shells into pop culture icons, but he also works with everything from deodorant tubes to Tic Tac boxes.
As Casino describes in his Instagram bio, he “makes art from weird things,” and it seems there’s nothing he can’t turn into an awesome piece of art. Like, say, an old NES cartridge!
Casino has recently shared images of several vintage NES cartridges that he’s turned into 3D artwork, cleverly making it appear as if horror icons like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Slimer and the shark from Jaws are quite literally emerging from the NES games they were featured in. First he carves up the cartridges, and then paints and sculpts the characters into them.
In some cases, Casino’s art is better than the game itself! See more over on Instagram.
