You Hear About This "Game Boy" Thing?

Here, we have Fritz engaging in one of his pastimes: playing Tetris for hours on end. He's dressed more casually and looks a little older. (In fact, since the Game Boy was released in 1989, he'd have to be in his early to mid-forties here... but he's always looked young for his age.)

This piece was adapted from a sketchbook drawing, including the blocks in the background which were kept looking wonky on purpose. Their patterns and the brick frame are deliberate callbacks to the appearance of the Game Boy game. I also used my own Game Boy as a model for the one here!

I also created a black and white version of this piece - you can view it here.
