If retro gaming characters lived among us, it might look something like Aled Lewis' photographs.
Aled Lewis injects some humor into his pictures by placing miniature 8-bit characters into actual settings. Most art-incorporated photographs I've seen are fairly serious, so it's nice to see that Lewis is taking the fun approach. From E-Honda wrecking a car to Bowser cruising around on the beach, these funny photos by Aled Lewis can be seen in the gallery.
