Iam8bit announces game-related art showcase for the Game Developers Conference

Did you know that human beings are responsible for many of the pictures you find on Google Image Search? That’s not the cloud drawing “Pikachu but with muscles” on demand just because you search for it every day at lunch. Someone had to actually open up Photoshop with a dark intent to create that art.

Now, creative production company Iam8bit wants to celebrate the artists that create original visuals for and related to video games as part of a new showcase called “Art Boss” at the annual Game Developers Conference. In March, the industry will once again congregate at Moscone Center in San Francisco to share knowledge about games (and jpegs of sinewy electric rats), and this time attendees will have the opportunity to check out artwork used in the production of games and more.
