My Heroes.

Growing up I was obsessed with The Mario Bros. as were a bazillion kids who grew up in the late eighties/early nineties.

These guys had so much appeal to me because they really reminded me of my dad and my uncle. But are mustachioed and both are awesome.

Some of the first drawings where I actually tried to pay attention to the characters design was of Mario. I can still remember the clear thinking of noticing that drawing mario as a stick figure wasn't cutting it. Haha.
