Acrylic on a 16" Hexagonal Canvas 

Based on Gottlieb's arcade classic, Q*bert, itself based on the repeating cube designs of MC Escher. 

Fun facts: Q*bert's nose was originally supposed to shoot things at enemies, but this was too difficult to program. The orginal title of the game was going to be the unpronouncable swear "@!#?@!"  but it was changed to Hubert, then Cubert, then Q*bert. 

My favorite thing about the game? That some of the enemies use a different gravity system on the cubes than Q*bert does.
