Perhaps you're a fan of video games. Perhaps you're a fan of "art." Maybe you just like your video games a little more abstract than the rest. In all these cases then this weeks Threadless shirt should appeal to you. At first glance it's just a picture of the first level of Donkey Kong but looking a bit closer reveals it's just a collection of paint strokes of something so iconic that our brains just fill in the blanks. It's actually quite interesting. Yellow blobs become barrels, blue lines are ladders. I'm sure I could make some interesting comment about the uncanny valley. Of course even if you don't dig this as a shirt, 5 seconds in photoshop and you've got yourself a pretty sweet computer desktop!
