I never make pop art. It's just not a thing I explore much. But I took a few days to reset my creative brain and found a great deal of enjoyment in exploring a technique I don't often employ to make a poppy object I would likely not set out to make. And sometimes the simple joy of making a simple object is enough. And so, I made an ode to my favorite video game ever made.

Thanks to Shaper for partnering with me on this object. If you want to learn more about the Shaper Origin you can visit http://shapertools.com/encurtis. And if you want to participate in Shaper's Box Challenge, check out shapertools.com/boxchallenge for more info.
