Streets of Beige presents '16Bit BRAWL' - an upcoming online exhibition (March 21-May 2.2014)
Streets of Beige's Tony & Tom shares with us news of their very first online exhibition opening next Friday titled, 16Bit BRAWL!
PRESS: "Featuring work by some of the leading artists, designers and illustrators from the U.K. and beyond,16Bit BRAWL celebrates the classic console war which took place between SEGA and NINTENDO throughout the 80s and early 90s.
SOB comment: Unless you were some kind of spoilt demon-child you probably owned just one of the two leading consoles of that era. The question is... who's cartridges were you blowing?!"
