Yeehawgust day 30: Spaghetti Western

one of my favorite games

My two Red Dead Redemption/Oregon Trail mash-up pieces for LTD Gallery’s next show, Press Start…To Continue!

The theme is remixing old and new games- I really wanted to do something with Myst what with the anniversary being right around the corner, but the Western parallels of Oregon Trail and RDR seemed too good to resist.  That and John’s wicked witch-like tendency to die when he gets even the slightest bit damp.

The van der Linde gang, but as kids

This is all thanks to the anon who sent in this request:

I became obsessed with this idea as soon as I read it, not realizing actually how many gang members there are and how long it would take! 

Panel 1: Molly writing poetry, Dutch and his favorite book, Hosea’s going fishing and Arthur and Charles (and Copper) are practicing with their bows

Panel 2: John, who’s not so sure about  Abigail, Karen who is not having any of Sean’s affections

Panel 3: Susan helping Trelawny learn card tricks, Pearson and his compass, Kieran sharing his toy horses with Bill

Panel 4: Mary-Beth telling secrets (probably about Kieran) to Tilly, Swanson and Strauss and their favorite books,  Micah caught Arthur’s arrow (those are toy guns btw)

Panel 5: Lenny enjoying Micah’s predicament, Javier and Sadie making music, Uncle would join in but he’s otherwise occupied
