I was commissioned by Namco - the guys behind the original Pac-Man - to create an illustration that would become a part of a permanent exhibition within their brand new Chicago-based entertainment complex called Level 257.
I came up with a version of a famous game concept where the Pac-man is represented by a little girl and the four ghosts are pictured as animal spirits. The plot is very simple: little glowy butterflies lure the Pac-girl deep into the woods where the spirits of four majestic animals that were hunted and killed by the girl's parents a while ago are set to take revenge on the family by killing their only child. A little dark, perhaps?

The piece can be found in the gallery within the Level 257 complex. Pop in if you happen to be in the area!
