Kaiju artist Lamour Supreme does games design for DataPop
The date's also drawing nearer for my much anticipated SXSW related DataPopParty, bringing a strong lineup of 8bitpeoples chiptune artists to Austin for a March 18th show, and local theater chain Alamo Drafthouse has just revealed an exclusive art print and T-shirt for the show from Lamour Supreme.
Lamour's most commonly known for his kaiju (ie. beautifully grotesque Japanese movie monster-inspired design) vinyl toys, which you can spy via his flickr, and he's certainly brought that same inspiration to the Datapop's design.
I caught the Austin local screening of 2 Player Production's chiptune documentary Reformat the Planet last night (was anyone else there?), with producer Paul Levering in attendance -- they're helping to organize DataPop, and I'll be doing my damndest to bring footage/coverage of the show to the site next week.
Alamo's put up both the shirt and the print for sale via MondoTees. As a reminder, entrance is free to the DataPop show itself, which will be held inside the abandoned Salvation Army by the South Lamar Alamo.

Missed that 2nd showing of "Reformat the Planet", got taken on a date which sadly didn't include a stop at the Alamo, - hope the movie was good. Glad to see that a BoingBoinger is here in Austin, see you at the DataPop show.

I was there, it was good little documentary. One of my friends was the guy that asked if there was any slow chiptune music.
That shirt is sweet. I am pumped for DataPop!

Ditto for attendance. Great documentary, and it's good to see somebody cataloging the movement. I'll be at DataPop as well; look for the guy in the glowing jacket.
