This short and pudgy Italian plumber has come a long way since his first exploits in the Mushroom Kingdom. He has since expanded from side-scrolling arcade games to a variety of other video game genres, from puzzles to racing. Despite being Nintendo’s mascot, though, much of his personality is left open to interpretation. This post features how various designers have explored the many possible faces of Mario.
Get in touch with the gamer in you and check out this cool collection of creative Mario artwork; or, as Mario would say, “Let’s-a go!”

There is some really great stuff here! I love the realistic portraits. There was an artist a couple years ago that painting a great image of Mario that isn’t here. If I can find it I’ll post a link.

Super Mario From The Minds Of Some Very Talented People « Thumb Culture - July 29th, 2010
[...] Considering the portly plumber started out as a secondry character to Donkey Kong, he’s done pretty good for himself being the star of arguably the greatest games the world has seen. The beauty of Mario is his description and personality. A portly plumber who wears dungarees, rides a dinosaur and lives in a fantasy world. People can interpret that however they want which leads to some very cool concept art. Check them out here. [...]
