My Mario Poster for Nintendo Power Magazine!
I was hired by Nintendo Power to do a huge Mario pullout poster! It's in the next issue (June 2006/V204) that ships in 2 days! It's part of a huge 9 page story all about I Am 8-Bit show.
I spent a long time on this digital piece. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post it, but I did make for you, a key to all the characters that appear in the poster! Now when you get the magazine, you can impress all your friends by knowing the difference between a Beezo and a Telectro!

Heya Gabe! 'Saw you at 8-bit, but you were getting mobbed by the media, so i didn't get to say 'hey'. I just wanted to tell ya, your ShadowMan painting was my favorite you did. 'Loved it; loved it.... it looked so cool in person. 'Glad there was a lot more Mega Man love this year in contrast to the last year's show.
Well, 'hope ya had fun last night. The show rocked! -Sue

Tahnk you all for the huge turn put at the 8-Bit show! And a big thank you to anyone who bought my pieces! I happy to know that my adopted children will be safe!
I wish I could have seen you Sue! I was just talking about you the other day...
I'm going to be at the I AM 8-BIT signing on Saturday, maybe I'll see you there?
I got my hands on an advance copy of the Nintendo Power and the poster was cropped weird, but the colors looked great!
Damn, I can't WAIT to get me a copy of that issue! I will put your poster up in my drawing room and dream of the day I can be as freakin' awesome as Gabe Swarr!
Gabe, I LOVE your NP poster!! It's really the coolest!
When I was a kid, I actually started to draw by copying all of the cool art in Nintendo Power mags... I'm going to have to buy this one, just for your poster!
That was a great show and it was cool to meet you. We had a blast! You do super work!
your work is awesome, i really like the way you can put everything so simple and so fun
